Natchitoches Parish Clerk of Court David O. Stamey announced that the November 3 election has been certified, with no election lawsuits filed, clearing the way for the December 12 election.

According to Stamey, the December ballot will be considerably smaller, with approximately 80% of Natchitoches Parish precincts having only one item on the ballot.

The parishwide ballot will include a proposition to renew the library millage. The proposed renewal is for 8 mills on all property subject to taxation and is estimated to generate $3,780,000.

Two additional races will appear on ballots in their respective districts or municipalities.

Voters in Natchitoches Parish School Board District 8 will vote on a school board member, while voters in the town of Campti will decide the runoff election for Chief of Police.

Stamey emphasized that most parish residents will have only the library millage renewal proposition on their ballots.

Additional information regarding early voting, voting times and the voting app will be provided as the election approaches.

Residents seeking election information may contact the Natchitoches Parish Clerk of Court’s Office or the Registrar of Voters Office.
