Early voting brisk
Early voters are turning out in higher-than-usual numbers to cast ballots for the Oct. 22 primary.
The Ouachita Parish Registrar of Voters office had tallied 1,791 early votes at the end of business Tuesday. That's an increase over the 2007 election, according to Registrar of Voters Christa Medaries.
"We saw 585 voters Saturday," said Medaries. "We processed another 400 just on Tuesday alone."
So far, Medaries said early voting is running about 33 percent higher than the 2007 election cycle.
During the last state-wide primary elections in 2007, Ouachita Parish saw 4,984 voters cast early ballots. On the third day of early voting in 2007, only 1,380 voters had gone to the polls.
In years past, the percentage of early ballots has been a fairly reliable indicator of election day turnout. That's not true anymore, according to Medaries.
