Know which precinct you are registered to vote in, and its location if you are voting on election day. Be prepared to provide photo identification to vote early or on election day. You can obtain a free Louisiana special identification card by presenting your voter registration information card to the Office of Motor Vehicles. Do not bring or wear any campaign paraphernalia to the polls or to vote early.

There is an app for iPhone and Android devices. Download the free GeauxVote app. Information available on mobile devices includes voter registration information, voter districts information and information about upcoming elections such as voting dates and times, voting locations and sample ballots.

Notify your parish registrar of voters of any changes to your registration. Failure to update your residential address may result in an inactive registration status. Inactive voters must verify their residential addresses prior to voting, which may be done on election day at the precinct, in person at the registrar’s office, online or by mail through a voter registration application.

To qualify to vote you must:

  • be a U.S. citizen;
  • be at least 17 years old, but must be 18 years old by the next election to vote;
  • not be under an order of imprisonment for conviction of a felony;
  • not be under a judgment of full interdiction for mental incompetence or partial interdiction with suspension of voting rights; and
  • reside in the state and parish in which you seek to register.

Vote by Mail

In Louisiana you must have a reason to be eligible to vote by mail, unless you are a military or overseas voter. Senior citizens and persons with disabilities may apply for an automatic mail ballot.

Vote Early

All registered voters may vote early at the registrar of voters office or at an alternate site designated for early voting. You do not need a reason to vote early.

The early voting period is from 14 days to seven days before each election, from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. (except Sundays and legal holidays).

Vote on Election Day

You may cast your ballot on election day by:

  • voting on a machine;
  • emergency paper ballot if the only voting machine in the precinct fails; or
  • provisional paper ballot (federal election only) if you certify that you are eligible to vote in the election and your name does not appear on the precinct register.

Most of Faubourg St. John is in Council District A. However, the triangle area within Faubourg St. John’s borders in voting precinct 7-15 bounded by Broad, Onzaga and Gentilly is in Council District D.
Voters participating in the February 1, 2014 and March 15, 2014 elections
will vote in the new representative districts.

FSJNA’s boundaries are: Onzaga to Orleans and North Broad to North Carrollton.

Faubourg St. John, established in 1708, is a neighborhood located just north of Broad Street at the intersection of Orleans Avenue.

It is approximately 75 city blocks in area and has an average elevation of about 1 foot above sea level. Not bad when you consider about half of New Orleans is several feet under sea level. More than 4,000 residents call Faubourg St. John home.

One of New Orleans’ finest neighborhoods, Faubourg St. John is famous for its stately trees, abundant parks, spectacular homes, world-class museums, vibrant bayou, excellent restaurants and fine shops throughout the neighborhood especially along its business districts on Ponce de Leon and Broad Streets.

Faubourg St. John contains the full range of residential uses, fun and friendly business districts, office space, a wide range of medical services and a small amount of light industrial property. This full range of land use, plus the economic and ethnic diversity of the neighborhoods’ population qualifies Faubourg St. John as a premier destination.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE


Voting is a way to speak your mind and let your voice be heard!
Your vote is your voice. When we vote, we are actually telling elected officials and
lawmakers how we feel about education, public safety, social security, health care, and other important issues.

One voice, one vote really does count!
Remember: there is power in numbers, and when we vote and get our family members to vote, we can truly make a difference. If you don’t vote for what you believe in, others will-and you may not like the outcome.

Our children are depending on us to represent their voices too!
Because our children can’t vote, we have to do it for them. That’s how we make our concerns about schools, safety, housing, and other issues heard. When we vote, we are looking out for our kids, and their futures.

Voting changes communities!
Do you ever wonder why one neighborhood gets passed over for things it needs, while another seems to get it all? One big reason is voting. When we vote, we can get results that we can actually see.

Vote to effect change!
It was through elections that we voted in officials who were champions for civil rights. Voting is our chance to make a difference in our own lives and within the world.

Believe it or not, voting is a way of honoring our history!
A s long as our country has existed, there have been people who didn’t want us to vote. There were several freedom fighters that stood up for the right to vote. Well, those times may seem ancient, but there are still people today who don’t want us to vote. It’s now our turn to stand up and vote to preserve the honor of those who went before us.

Last but not least, because it gives you credibility!
Often times, we voice our concerns to elected officials, but if we aren’t voting, our concerns may not matter at all to them. Voting can actually give you the credibility to make your concerns a top priority for legislators.
