Early voting for the Nov. 4 presidential election starts Tuesday and will continue through Oct. 28 in the Registrar of Voters offices in each parish.
Hours will be 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
According to Caddo Parish Registrar Ernie Roberson, aside from the presidential race, the Caddo ballot Nov. 4 will include seven state constitutional amendments, a dozen parish charter amendments, plus the U.S. Senate race, and for some voters Congressional , judges, Ward 6 constable and a Town of Ida proposition. Voters can skip voting for some issues if they wish.
The deadline to register to vote for the Presidential election was Oct. 6, so it is too late to register to vote for president or any other races on that ballot, including the major party runoffs, if you have not already done so.
But people can still register to vote for the Dec. 6 Congressional general election. The deadline for that is Nov. 5.
