In Calcasieu, voters will decide on tax propositions for a community center and playground in District 4 of Ward 1, Ward 1 Fire Protection District 1, Ward 4 Fire Protection District 2 and Waterworks District 9 of Ward 4.

In Cameron, voters are asked to consider tax propositions for the Consolidated Fire Protections of South Cameron, Recreation District 6, Waterworks District 9 and Fire Protection District 10.

Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin said polling commissioners will be provided personal protective equipment to protect against the spread of COVID-19.

Voting machines will be wiped down after each voter casts their ballot. Hand sanitizer will be available, and while face masks aren’t required, they are recommended.

Voters should bring their driver’s license, a Louisiana special ID or a generally recognized photo ID that includes their signature. Digital licenses through the LA Wallet app are acceptable.
