Why Voting Matters
Voting is how St. Bernard Parish residents shape the decisions made in their name. The next election for St. Bernard 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. With retail and manufacturing among the parish's biggest employers, issues like local businesses are decided by the officials voters choose.
In the 2024 presidential election, about 17,300 ballots were cast in St. Bernard Parish, down about 2% from 17,600 in 2020. With roughly 33,700 adults living in the parish, that is around 51% of adult residents, below the statewide rate of about 56%.
That means roughly 16,400 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, St. Bernard Parish would add about 821 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
