Early Voting on Tax Issues Begins this Saturday

Early Voting will be held in the Registrar of Voters office in the Winn Parish Courthouse Saturday, April 13, through Saturday, April 20, (closed Sunday, April 14), said Registrar of Voters Bryan Kelley.

Voting hours will be from 8:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Voters should enter through the Main Street entrance of the courthouse. The election will be Saturday, April 27.

On the ballot will be two parishwide tax issues, one a 10-year renewal of a half-cent sales tax for Police Jury road maintenance and the second a 10-year property tax of 9.25 mills for the School Board for ongoing maintenance of parish schools.

Also to be considered by voters in Consolidated School District No. 11 (the Dodson/Sikes area) will be a 20-year renewal of the 15-mill property tax currently levied to pay General Obligation Bonds for capital expenditures and improvements in that school district.

Voters are invited to download the GeauxVote app which allows voters to view their individual sample ballot and monitor results on Election night.

Sample ballots are also posted on the wall outside the Registrar of Voters Office.
