Delcambre, Louisiana Public Records

Citizenship, Louisiana residency, age 17 to register (18 to vote), and no current imprisonment for a felony conviction. The town holds municipal elections for mayor and council positions on Louisiana's consolidated election schedule, most recently in 2022, with the next cycle anticipated in 2026. Voters here also participate in parish-wide races for the Vermilion Parish School Board, Sheriff, Clerk of Court, Assessor, and Police Jury members. To locate their assigned polling place, residents can use the GeauxVote locator at www.sos.la.gov by entering their address, or contact the Registrar directly. Louisiana maintains extensive public election records: voter registration lists can be purchased by campaigns and political parties; campaign finance reports for candidates are searchable through the Louisiana Ethics Administration Program at www.ethics.la.gov; candidate qualifying information is published by the Secretary of State; and precinct-level results are posted online following certification. In the November 2024 presidential election, Vermilion Parish recorded approximately 61% voter turnout with roughly 20,000 ballots cast from around 33,000 registered voters, reflecting the parish's traditionally strong presidential year participation and conservative leanings. For the November 3, 2026 election cycle, voters will decide multiple contests: no U.S. Senate seat is up that year, but state representatives for House Districts covering the parish will be on the ballot, along with the State Senator for District 24. Parish-level races may include the Vermilion Parish Sheriff and Clerk of Court depending on the cycle, plus School Board seats, Police Jury members, and potentially municipal offices if the town's election schedule aligns. Louisiana's jungle primary system places all candidates on one ballot regardless of party; if no one receives 50% plus one vote, the top two finishers advance to a runoff held approximately one month later. Absentee voting by mail requires an approved excuse: age 65 or older, illness or disability, absence from the parish on election day, or incarceration. Early voting is available to all registered voters during a designated period, typically 14 to 7 days before the election, at the Vermilion Parish Registrar's Office and other designated locations. Mail-in absentee ballot applications must reach the Registrar by 4:30 p.m. On the fourth day before the election, and completed ballots must be received by election day.
