Early Voting Ends| Louisiana
Early voting for the 2024 public election officially ends on Tuesday. This pre-polling process is for convenience to vote prior to public election day. Voting can be taken remotely or in person at designated early voting stations.
The goals of early voting are to hopefully increase participation, to eliminate some inconvenience in wait times for the actual election day or to avoid discrimination from those unable to vote on the official election day.
A valid driver’s license is needed and voting in person must be in the city of your Louisiana residence.
