Louisiana Secretary of State Issues Election Day Reminders: Polls Open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 3, No Electioneering Within 600 Feet of Polling Places
BATON ROUGE, La. — Baton Rouge, in East Baton Rouge Parish, is the capital of Louisiana. Secretary of State Nancy Landry on November 2 reminded Louisiana voters of important deadlines, voting hours and polling place rules ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 3 election.
On absentee ballots, completed ballots from regular voters must be received by parish registrars of voters by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 2. Military personnel and overseas voters may request an absentee ballot until 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 2, and registrars must receive their completed ballots by the close of polls at 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Polls will open at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Any voter in line at 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote. Voters can find their polling location and view their sample ballot through the Secretary of State's voter website or the GeauxVote mobile app.
The Secretary of State asked voters to show patience and respect toward election commissioners and other election workers on Election Day, noting that ballots include many races and propositions and voters may need more time to make their selections, which could lead to longer lines. Louisiana law (La. R.S. 18:1461.5) prohibits threats or intimidation intended to influence election officials in carrying out their duties; voters should follow instructions from election commissioners and report any concerns to the appropriate election officials.
Under La. R.S. 18:1462, electioneering within 600 feet of the entrance to a polling place is strictly prohibited. The prohibition applies to everyone, whether or not individuals are affiliated with or working on behalf of a political campaign, and includes wearing campaign or political paraphernalia such as T-shirts, hats or buttons displaying campaign slogans or the names of candidates on the ballot. Election officials will ask individuals who violate the law to remove or cover the prohibited items, and those who refuse to comply will be asked to leave the polling site; individuals who remain after being directed to leave by an election commissioner, law enforcement officer, registrar or deputy registrar may face penalties.
Voters can follow election results Tuesday evening on the GeauxVote website and mobile app as election officials report results after polls close. Voters with questions about the election should contact the Secretary of State's Election Hotline at 800-883-2805. (Source: Louisiana Secretary of State)
