BATON ROUGE, La.—Secretary of State Nancy Landry announces that newly redesigned absentee voting envelopes will be used for the October 11 elections. Voters who have requested an absentee ballot for the upcoming elections should expect to see these redesigned envelopes in the coming days.

“Our redesigned absentee ballot envelopes come with larger print and easier-to-read instructions,” Secretary Landry said. “These envelopes will ensure that voters more clearly understand how to vote absentee-by-mail while maintaining the stringent election security measures Louisiana deserves and expects.”

Voters are encouraged to view this video, produced by the Secretary of State’s Office, which explains how to vote absentee-by-mail using these new envelopes.

Voters with any questions should contact the Secretary of State’s Elections Division at 800.883.2805 or their parish Registrar of Voters Office.
