Perry, Louisiana Public Records

Louisiana residents can register to vote online at https://voterportal.sos.la.gov using the GeauxVote system, which requires a Louisiana driver's license or special ID card. Registration deadlines are 30 days before an election for online registration and 20 days before for in-person registration at the Registrar's office. Acceptable identification for in-person registration includes a Louisiana driver's license or ID card. As an unincorporated community, Perry does not hold municipal elections for mayor or city council. Police Jury districts are elected to four-year terms. Parish-wide elections also include Sheriff, Clerk of Court, Assessor, and School Board members, typically held in October with runoffs in November of off-years. Louisiana uses a jungle primary system where all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party, and if no candidate receives 50% plus one vote, the top two advance to a runoff. Local voters can find their assigned polling location by visiting the Louisiana Secretary of State's GeauxVote portal at https://voterportal.sos.la.gov and entering their name and date of birth, or by contacting the Vermilion Parish Registrar of Voters. Louisiana's public election records include voter registration lists available for lawful political purposes, campaign finance reports filed with the Louisiana Board of Ethics at www.ethics.la.gov, candidate qualifying information, and precinct-level election results published by the Secretary of State at https://voterportal.sos.la.gov/static/elections-results. Louisiana does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026, as the next Senate race is in 2028. However, voters will elect all seven of Louisiana's U.S. House Representatives, including the 3rd Congressional District representative that serves the area. All 39 Louisiana State Senate seats and all 105 Louisiana House of Representatives seats will be on the ballot in 2027, since Louisiana holds legislative elections in odd-numbered years, but 2026 will feature parish-level races depending on term expirations, potentially including School Board seats and any special elections or local propositions. Louisiana offers early voting beginning 14 days before an election and ending seven days before Election Day, excluding Sundays. Early voting locations in Vermilion Parish are announced before each election and typically include the Registrar's office and other designated sites. Absentee voting by mail is available for Louisiana voters who meet specific criteria: those who will be absent from the parish during early voting and Election Day, those who are hospitalized, those with certain disabilities, those 65 or older, or those who are incarcerated but still eligible to vote. Applications for mail-in ballots must be submitted to the Vermilion Parish Registrar of Voters and received by 4:30 PM the fourth business day before the election. Applications are available at www.sos.la.gov or from the Registrar's office at (337) 898-1863.
