More than 120,000 people are registered to vote in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, and those not registered must do so by Oct. 11 to be eligible to vote in the Nov. 8 presidential election.

Also on the ballot are U.S. House and Senate seats, a number of local races in Lockport and Golden Meadow and several proposed state constitutional amendments.

To register, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen, at least 17 years old and a Louisiana resident. To vote, you must at least 18.

Registration can be done in person in Lafourche at the Registrar of Voters Office at 307 W. Fourth St. in Thibodaux or the Galliano office at 16241 E. Main St., Suite B-23. In Terrebonne, the Registrar of Voters’ Office is located in the Government Tower, 8026 Main St., Suite 101 in Houma.

Registration can also be done online or through a mail-in application at www.geauxvote.com. Sample ballots and polling locations can also be found at the GeauxVote website or through its app.

Early voting for the November elections runs Oct. 25-Nov. 1 across Louisiana. Early ballots can be cast in both parishes at the registrars' offices from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day during that period except Sunday.

Currently, Terrebonne has 62,989 registered voters. Of those, 23,178 (36 percent) are Democrats, 20,890 (33 percent) are Republicans and 18,921 (30 percent) are listed as “other," almost all of them not affiliated with any political party.

Lafourche has 57,520 registered voters: 26,025 (45 percent) Democrats, 16,339 (28 percent) Republicans and 15,156 (26 percent) “other.”

In state and local elections, if a candidate fails to receive more than half the vote in the Nov. 8 primary, the top two finishers will compete in a Dec. 10 runoff. The last day to register to vote in that election is Nov. 9.
