Why Voting Matters
Every eligible adult in Ascension Parish, Louisiana holds the same power on Election Day: one vote that counts exactly as much as anyone else's. The next election for Ascension Parish voters is Louisiana's special statewide election on April 17, 2027, which includes a proposed constitutional amendment; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. Many Ascension Parish jobs are in construction and retail, so decisions about roads and housing and local businesses hit close to home.
In the 2024 presidential election, about 62,500 ballots were cast in Ascension Parish, about the same as the 62,300 cast in 2020. With roughly 100,000 adults living in the parish, that is around 62% of adult residents, above the statewide rate of about 56%.
That means roughly 37,900 adult residents did not cast a presidential ballot. Some are not eligible, but many are, and that is a lot of untapped power. If just one in 20 of them voted, Ascension Parish would add about 1,900 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
