The stakes are
high locally and
nationally, and
the only way to
have it your way
is to cast your
vote.
"If you
don't vote, you
don't count."
is as real as
it gets. Voting
is what keeps a
neighborhood
relevant.
Historically,
New Orleans East
has been known
to be a
significant
voting force. |

GET INVOLVED
Voting is one of our
most sacred
rights as
Americans. The
Secretary of State's
Office encourages Louisianan's
to: |
-
vote because it
is your right;
-
vote to ensure
your voice is
heard;
-
vote to make a
better state for
yourself and
your family; and
-
voting is one of
the most
powerful rights
that a citizen
has, and voter
participation is
crucial for an
effective, truly
representative
government.
With a mission of
“encouraging
citizens of
Louisiana to protect
and enrich their
quality of life by
exercising their
rights and
responsibilities as
informed voters,”
the Voter Outreach
Division has four
basic functions:
-
to coordinate
elections for
schools and
private
organizations as
a means to
involve students
and the
community to
think about
voting and how
it affects their
lives. This
affords the
secretary of
state and/or his
staff a chance
to speak with
students and
community
members about
the importance
of voting. It
also provides an
opportunity to
build
partnerships
between the
office of the
Secretary of
State and
communities
throughout the
state;
-
to make
presentations to
schools and
communities
about the
importance of
voting. This
function is
often carried
out in tandem
with private
elections;
-
to conduct and
facilitate voter
registration
drives. The
staff of the
Voter Outreach
Division travels
across the state
to participate
in voter
registration
initiatives; and
-
to support
registrar of
voters and
clerks of court
in their efforts
to recruit and
inform voters by
providing
brochures and
assisting with
the voter
registration
process.
If you are
interested in
partnering with the
Voter Outreach
Division to
participate in any
of these events,
please view our list
of programs.

Division. |

East VOTES! |

Words cannot express just how very honored I am to the people of the community to have been chosen to preside over Division "D" of Civil District Court. I am not only honored, but humbled by the tremendous amount of support and votes of confidence in my candidacy. To every single individual who not only voted for me, but also to those who prayed with me and for me, those who contributed from waving signs, spreading the word to family and friends or who just expressed words of encouragement, I say THANK YOU!
I look forward to working with the entire legal community in running an efficient and current docket.
I am committed to making all of you proud of my service and contributions to the judiciary. Again, thank you for your prayers and support!

In
Louisiana
you do
not need
a reason
to vote
early!
All
registers
voters
may vote
early,
just
like
they are
voting
on
Election
Day.
Voters
who want
to vote
early
for any
election
may do
so in
person
at their
parish
registrar
of
voters
office
or at
designated
locations
in the
parish
from 14
days to
seven
days
prior to
any
scheduled
election.
For a
complete
list of
the
locations
of
parish
registrar
of
voters
offices
and
designated
early
voting
locations,
please
refer
to early
voting
locations.
The
registrars
of
voters
will
open
their
offices
from
8:30
a.m. to
6 p.m.
for each
day of
early
voting.
When you
go to
cast
your
vote
early,
you will
be asked
to
identify
yourself
with
either a
photo ID
or
signature
on a
voter
affidavit.
You may
use a
driver's
license,
a
Louisiana
special
ID or
some
other
generally
recognized
picture
ID that
has your
name and
signature. If
you do not have the proper ID you may cast
a
Provisional
Ballot.
Provisional
voting
provides
a fail
safe
procedure
for
voting
in
federal
elections
when any
person appears
to vote
and is
not
listed
as an
eligible
voter.
You must
certify
in
writing
on the
ballot
that you
are a
registered
voter in
the
parish
and are
eligible
to vote
in the
election
for
federal
office
before
voting.
See Louisiana
R.S.
18:1303

information
about
voting
early. |
