What Can You Do?
It is not too late to call your state representatives, Governor John Bel Edwards, or Secretary Kyle Ardoin, to have your voices heard. We deserve to vote safely during this time of crisis and no one should be put in harms way just to vote. We're urging everyone to call or email their office!
Call and write to your State Representatives

Feel free to borrow from this sample letter:
Subject: RE: Mail-In Voting
Dear State Representative,
I am writing to urge you to allow and make available Mail-in Voting .
I urge you to allow us to send mail-in ballot applications using voter databases to fill in missing information from the request forms. I believe in the values of our democracy and in the people of Louisiana, and I oppose efforts to make voting harder, especially in the middle of a pandemic.
Thank you,
<your name>
