How Louisiana's closed party primaries will work
Some Louisiana elections will look a lot different this year as closed party primaries begin — reshaping contests like Rep. Julia Letlow's new Trump-backed challenge to incumbent Bill Cassidy's Senate seat.
Early voting was supposed to begin Monday, Jan. 26, but due to the weather, it will be suspended and resume on Tuesday.
Use the Louisiana Voter Portal to find where you vote on election day or call your parish Registrar of Voters Office. Your voter information card, received by mail, lists your polling place. Please pay special attention to make sure you go to the correct polling place.
