In a significant update for East Baton Rouge voters, early voting will be conducted at Forest Community Park instead of the traditional Coursey Office due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Coursey Blvd. branch will still be available for voter registration and the delivery of absentee ballots, but in-person voting will not occur on-site. This measure is designed to prioritize public health while ensuring voters can access essential services. The early voting period runs from October 16 to October 27, 2020, with operational hours from 8 a.

m. to 7 p. m. Officials urge residents to take advantage of the early voting days to minimize congestion on Election Day. The move is part of broader efforts to comply with health guidelines and provide a safe voting environment.

This change highlights the community's commitment to upholding democratic processes amid the ongoing pandemic. Voters should stay informed about these changes and plan accordingly to ensure their participation in the upcoming election.
