Tuesday is Election Day and voters are encouraged to remember:

•Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Anyone in line at 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote.

•Voters can find their polling location and sample ballot by downloading the GeauxVote Mobile app for smartphones or by visiting www.GeauxVote.com.

•Voters should bring an ID with them to vote (Louisiana driver’s license, Louisiana Special ID card, a generally recognized picture identification card with name and signature such as a passport or a digital license via LA Wallet. Voters without an ID will be required to fill out an affidavit but will be allowed to vote.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   The Era-Leader will be printed one day late this week to provide election results. It will be on newsstands and at stores on Wednesday instead of Tuesday, and it will be delivered via mail a day later than you usually receive it.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, polling commissioners will be supplied with personal protective equipment and will regularly sanitize designated areas and voting machines between each voter. Hand sanitizer will be provided to voters and masks are recommended, although not required.

Voters in Washington Parish need to remember that the Washington Parish Council approved a resolution changing a number of the polling places for the November 3 and December 5 elections.

The changes are a result of the Louisiana Secretary of State's Emergency Election Plan, the public health proclamations of the State of Louisiana, and is at the request of the Washington Parish Clerk of Court. The changes provide for social distancing and other safety guidelines for the health and safety of the polling commissioners and the voters.
