In an effort to ensure every vote that is cast is counted, the Caddo Parish Registrar of Voters provided a sample ballot to aid voters in properly casting votes for upcoming elections.
Early voting for the March 23 Presidential Preference / Municipal Primary Election starts on March 9, and Dale Sibley, Caddo Parish Registrar of Voters, wants to make sure voters properly fill out documentation and have the proper identification when casting mail-in, early voting- or show up to polling places on election day.
Tips for filling out a mail-in ballot:
• Ensure that the ballot you received is your ballot. Do this by verifying the voter label on your affidavit.
• Write in your mother’s maiden name where required
• Voters MUST SIGN and print their name as it is printed on the voter label in the first signature box
• A witness MUST SIGN below the voter. Every mail-in ballot requires a witness signature
• If the witness helps the voter fill out the ballot, the witness must sign the last signature box on the ballot
• Only ONE witness signature is allowed per ballot
• Witnesses may sign more than one ballot if they are immediate family
• Follow all instructions listed on the sample ballot and attached affidavit
