Why Voting Matters
Voting is how Vernon Parish residents shape the decisions made in their name. The next election for Vernon 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 Vernon Parish jobs are in health care and retail, so decisions about health care costs and local businesses hit close to home.
Vernon Parish voters cast about 16,100 ballots for president in 2024, down about 6% from 17,300 in 2020. Compared with the parish's roughly 35,000 adult residents, that works out to about 46%, below the statewide rate of about 56%.
That means roughly 18,800 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, Vernon Parish would add about 942 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
With about 35 residents per square mile over 1,328 square miles, Vernon Parish is a place where neighbors often know their local officials. The parish is home to about 1.0% of Louisiana's population.
