Do I need my voter identification card when I go to vote?
No. A voter needs only to present a Louisiana Drivers License, a Louisiana Special ID, or some other generally recognized picture ID. If you do not have a picture ID, identification affidavits have been furnished to the Commissioner(s) to be completed at each voting precinct. Should any problems or questions arise, for example your name is not in the precinct register, please do not leave before asking the Commissioner(s) call the Registrar of Voters office immediately and we will help resolve the problem.
