SECRETARY ARDOIN DECLARES AUGUST 26 AND 27 A “WEEKEND OF PRAYER IN LOUISIANA”

BATON ROUGE, La.— In the midst of record-high temperatures, historic drought conditions, and wildfires raging across Louisiana, Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin has declared Saturday, August 26, and Sunday, August 27 a “Weekend of Prayer in Louisiana.”

“I implore Louisianans of all faiths and religious affiliations to join together in prayer for relief from these extreme conditions, for those who have lost their homes in these wildfires and those forced to evacuate because of them, and the brave first responders who are working around the clock to keep us safe,” Ardoin said. “Prayer is powerful, and just like they always do, I know Louisianans will come together to help those who have lost so much in these difficult days.”

Secretary Ardoin also reminds Louisiana citizens to be mindful of the statewide burn ban and to adhere to state and local officials, as well as emergency personnel.

BATON ROUGE, La.—Today, following the announcement that the legislature would hold a veto override session, Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin again called on the legislature to override the veto of HB 646 by Representative Les Farnum. 

“HB 646 is critical to election integrity and the maintenance of accurate voter rolls in Louisiana. While the Governor’s veto was misguided and blatantly partisan, the legislature has a chance to right that wrong by overriding that veto,” Secretary Ardoin said. 

HB 646 would phase in an additional subset of voters in the annual voter canvass to include voters who have not voted or had any voter activity in ten or more years.

Amite, La.— Andi Matheu and the Tangipahoa Parish Registrar of Voters Office completed the annual canvass and the final round of precinct mergers for the Tangipahoa Parish Council that was approved on July 10, 2023.

If a registered voter had a change to his precinct, they will receive a new voter identification card. This card is to inform you of what specifically changed. These cards will have the note, “poll place and ward/precinct” on the bottom. There were 4,854 voters with a precinct change who will receive these updated voter cards.

PLEASE look carefully at your voter registration card to see what precinct and location you will be voting in from now on. *IMPORTANT ~ due to redistricting, canvass, and the precinct mergers, voters may receive several voter identification cards. The voter id card with the most current issue date is the only one that will apply. 

Because the Registrar’s Office is finished with our annual canvass in which we verify voter addresses, you may also receive an address confirmation. A response to the address confirmation notice is required by law. Thank you for helping us keep our voter rolls clean and updated to ensure fair and accurate elections.
