The Secretary of State's Office is reminding Louisiana residents that Saturday, December 5 is Election Day.
In preparation for Saturday’s election, Secretary Kyle Ardoin is encouraging voters to remember:
- Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Anyone in line at 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote.
- Voters can find their polling location and sample ballot by downloading the GeauxVote Mobile app for smartphones or by visiting www.GeauxVote.com.
