The East Baton Rouge Parish Registrar of Votes will begin sending out mail-in ballots to nearly 21,000 people today.
Officials say the office will continue to accept ballot requests from eligible voters through October 30. However, USPS recommends people request a ballot as early as possible and at least 15 days before Election Day.
Residents are also advised to mail in their ballots at least seven days before the deadline, which is November 2.
