Secretary of State Nancy Landry is joining Registrars of Voters across the state this week, September 2125, to promote Voter Registration Week activities aimed at registering Louisiana citizens to vote ahead of the November 3 election. The deadline to register to vote in person or by mail is Monday, October 5, and the deadline to register to vote online is Tuesday, October 13.
“The first step to participating in the electoral process is registering to vote. It’s never been easier to register or update your registration information in Louisiana — any citizen with a Louisiana license or ID can register online in a matter of minutes at GeauxVote. com,” Secretary Landry said.
To register and vote in Louisiana, individuals must: be a U.S. citizen; be at least 17 years old (16 years old if registering in person at the Registrar of Voters Office or at the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles) to register and 18 years old prior to the next election to vote; not be under an order of imprisonment for conviction of a felony or, if under such an order, not have been incarcerated pursuant to the order within the last five years, and not be under an order of imprisonment related to a felony conviction for election fraud or any other election offense pursuant to La. R.S. 18:1461.2; not be under a judgment of full interdiction for mental incompetence or partial interdiction with suspension of voting rights; be a resident in the state and parish in which they seek to register and vote; apply at least 20 days prior to an election if registering online or 30 days prior to an election if registering in person or by mail.
