Early voting for the Louisiana Primaries officially began Saturday, with a large turnout of voters. Voters expressed their excitement about voting early due to the Supreme Court ruling for Louisiana v. Callais, which allowed them to cast their ballots, which they believe will significantly impact their community's impact on local issues. The turnout was higher in some areas, with over 2800 people attending in Jefferson Parish. The Supreme Court's decision to strike down on the VOTing Rights Act is seen as an incentive for early voting. Early voting will resume from 8:30 am to 6 p.m on Monday. For voters casting ballots by mail, the ballot must be received before 4:30 p.M.
