Time's ticking for those looking to cast their ballot in the December 7 General Election, as M. Dwayne Wall, Registrar of Voters, has put out the word that the in-person voter registration deadline is swiftly approaching. Set for November 6, hopeful participants will need to bring identification reflecting their parish address to either the Covington office at 601 N. Jefferson Ave. or the Slidell Office at 520 Old Spanish Trail Suite 2F, according to the St. Tammany Parish Government.
The Covington office will be welcoming citizens from 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M., but do note, if you're planning to swing by the Slidell location, they're hitting pause for lunch between 1:00 P.M. and 2:00 P.M.; yes, even the gears of democracy need to fuel up. For those who find the digital realm more their style, there's still time to register online through the Geaux Vote Online Registration system, but that clock stops ticking a bit later on November 16, as reported by the St. Tammany Parish Government.
To register by mail, applications must be received or postmarked by November 6 to be valid. For those yet to heed this call, there's no time like the present; the deadline waits for no one, and it's either register now or hold peace until the next electoral round. Democracy is knocking – will you answer? Detailed information can be found on the St. Tammany Parish Government's website, along with further instructions for would-be voters.
