BATON ROUGE, La. — Secretary of State Nancy Landry reminds voters that early voting for the March 23 Presidential Preference Primary and Municipal Primary Election begins Saturday, March 9, and continues through Saturday, March 16, (excluding Sunday, March 10) from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

Citizens who want to vote early may do so in person at their parish Registrar of Voters Office or at other designated locations, which can be found at voterportal.sos.la.gov/earlyvoting.

Voters are encouraged to utilize Louisiana’s award-winning, free smartphone app, GeauxVote Mobile, to locate parish early voting locations, Election Day voting site, or view their sample ballot. GeauxBot, the virtual voter assistant, is also available to access pertinent election information such as registration deadlines, election dates,
polling locations, and hours. GeauxBot is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by
visiting voterportal.sos.la.gov or by selecting Elections and Voting on sos.la.gov.

Voters should bring an ID with them to vote (Louisiana driver’s license, Louisiana Special ID card, a generally recognized picture identification card with name and signature such as a passport, or a digital license via LA Wallet). Complaints involving possible election code violations should be reported to the Secretary of State’s Elections Compliance Unit at 800.722.5305.
