Louisiana Votes, The Gubernatorial General Election

Nov 15, 2019 10:11AM ● By News Desk

Louisiana voters head to the polls once again on Saturday, November 16th  to settle run-off races left unresolved by the October 12th primary election. 

In statewide elections, Gov. John Bel Edwards is fighting for a second term in a run-off against Republican businessman Eddie Rispone. Should Edwards hold on to the seat, he will be the only Democratic Governor in the deep south.  The only other statewide election is for Secretary of State, where Interim Secretary, Kyle Ardoin (R) faces off with “Gwen” Collins-Greenup (D). 

Throughout the state, registered voters will decide on numerous local and regional seats up for grabs in this gubernatorial election.  

   > 27 parishes have statewide & local races, and limited jurisdiction proposition

   > 20 parishes have statewide & local elections only

   > 7 parishes have statewide & local races, and parishwide proposition elections

   > 7 parishes have statewide & local races, parishwide and limited jurisdiction proposition      elections

   > 1 parish (Pointe Coupee) has statewide races and a parishwide proposition

In the Acadiana parishes of Lafayette, Acadia, Iberia, St. Landry, St. Martin, and Vermilion, voter turnout is expected to be heavy, so officials are asking voters to be prepared before arriving at the polls. 

Things To Remember

- Election Day is Saturday November 16, 2019

- Polls open at 7 AM

- Polls close at 8 PM

- Voters must be prepared to show an identification card with your photo and signature prior to voting. If you do not have a photo ID, you may obtain a free Louisiana special identification card by presenting your voter registration information card to the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) or you may vote by affidavit after correctly answering identifying information before voting. 

- Never wear any campaign shirt, hat, and button or pin when voting. All polling places have a 600 foot campaign free zone.

- If you need assistance, ask a commissioner to instruct you on how to operate the voting machine before voting.
