Vermilion Parish Registrar of Voters Tina Broussard wasn’t sure exactly what kind of start to expect for early voting for the March 29 election, which opened this past Saturday.
There’s only one race on the ballot for the March 29 election, and that’s a special election for a seat on the Abbeville City Council. However, four constitutional being on the ballot opens it up to every voter in Vermilion Parish.
Nearly 700 voters have already taken part in the process. Broussard said as Tuesday morning that 222 voted in-person, with another 470 returning absentee ballots.
