Overview
- Residents face the cutoff to register in person or by mail, with online registration still available through the state's GeauxVote portal until April 25.
- Several high-profile contests use the closed-primary system, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, the Louisiana Supreme Court, the Public Service Commission, and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
- Under closed-primary rules, voters receive only their registered party's ballot, so those who wish to change parties must do so by the deadline to affect which candidates they can choose.
- Voters listed as No Party may choose a Republican or Democratic ballot at their polling place for covered races, or select a No Party ballot that includes only local contests.
- Early voting runs May 2 through May 9, and election officials urge people to confirm their status and polling details now in GeauxVote or with their parish registrar to prevent problems on Election Day.
