Louisiana's primary election is scheduled for Saturday, October 12, but early voting will continue through this Saturday, September 28 at 6 p.m.

There are tons of events in Acadiana on election day, and there is also an LSU football game in Tiger Stadium that day, so many people could be distracted and forget to vote.

Don't let that be you, please. Lafayette Parish Clerk of Court Louis Perret tells us that voter turnout will be as low as 43 percent possibly.

Please, make some time to either vote early, or ensure that you have multiple reminders to vote on Saturday, October 12.

Anyone can early vote, and you simply need to visit your parish's Registrar of Voters Office in order to do so. Click here for a list of Registrar of Voter locations for each parish.
