Early voting for the November 5 Presidential Election ended at 6 p.m. Tuesday when the  Registrar’s Office in Winn Parish closed its doors. During the Early Voting period, 2,447 voters  came in person while another 267 absentee (mail) ballots had been received, an overall total of  2,714 or 32.1% of Winn’s 8,459 registered voters. 

That total could rise since nearly a week remains when mail-in ballots can be received. Absentee  by mail ballots must be received by the Registrar of Voters Office by 4:30 p.m. on Monday,  November 4, to be counted in this election, according to Registrar Bryan Kelley. 

By comparison, 2,814 of the 8,932 voters registered in the 2020 Presidential Election voted early  and absentee. That was 31.5%. 

Going back one more election cycle to 2016 when there were 9,259 registered voters, 2.033 (or  31.6%) cast their votes early or absentee. 

In the 2024 early and absentee voting, 2,447 were in-person and 267 absentee. White voters  accounted for 2,281, while Blacks were 405 and Others 28. There were 1,195 Male and 1,519  Female. Democrats were 727, Republicans 1,449 and Other 538.
