Saturday Is Election Day

Tomorrow is election day.  The election was rescheduled from last spring due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Voter turnout was very low for the two-week early voting period which ended July 4th.  Only 125 people came to vote early.

There are no local issues in this election.  Only the Presidential Preference is on the ballot and only registered democrats and republicans can vote.  Part of the lack of interest is a result of the presumption that both the party nominees have already been selected.

The next election will be August 15th.  The only item on that ballot will be a proposal by the Parish Fire Protection District that their property tax be renewed two years early.  The early voting period for that election is July 25th through August 8th.
