• Parish residents who are not now registered to vote and wish to participate in the Oct. 9 referendum have until Sept. 8 to register in either in person at the Lincoln Parish Registrar of Voters office, by mail or via applications submitted through the Office of Motor Vehicles, parish Registrar of Voters Sharon Parnell said.

The registrar’s office is located on the ground floor of the Lincoln Parish Courthouse. Those wishing to register must bring photo ID and proof of address. Meantime, Sept. 18 is the deadline to register through the GeauxVote Online registration system.

The local ballot includes a property tax renewal for the Lincoln Parish Library, and four proposed state constitutional amendments.
