Caddo, Bossier early voting starts Saturday. Here's what you need to know

Voters in Caddo and Bossier parishes can have an early say in the March 23 elections by casting ballots as early as Saturday.

The Caddo Parish Sheriff's race is a top race to monitor. Democrat Henry Whitehorn won the Nov. 18 runoff, narrowly defeating Republican John Nickelson. A federal judge subsequently ordered a new election.

Voters will have the opportunity to choose both their desired presidential candidate and Republican or Democratic State Central Committee members.

What do you need to bring?

Registered voters need a photo ID or to sign a voter affidavit to vote. A Louisiana driver's license, a Louisiana special identification card, a United States military identification card that contains the applicant's name and a picture or other generally recognized picture identification that has both name and signature are acceptable forms of photo ID.
