The Journal attended the Grand Opening for new location of the Red River Parish Registrar of Voter’s Office. A host of local dignitaries, Police Jury members, parish employees, and registrars from surrounding parishes joined Red River Registrar, Debra Jones and Secretary of State, Nancy Landry to cut the ribbon and welcome the public to the updated offices.

After the ribbon cutting on September 19, guests were given tours of the offices and enjoyed refreshments. The offices are now ready to begin registering voters, updating voter information, and preparing for the national election in November.

Registrar Jones says that she is excited for early voting. “This will be a much better location for everyone to vote early in person. We have easy access for everyone, and we can be reached without having the public move through metal detectors”. She went on to thank the Police Jury for all their work in getting the office up and running and equipped with up-to-date technologies.
The new location is 1906 Front Street in Coushatta.
