NEW ORLEANS — Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin is not anticipating many polling place changes at all in southeast Louisiana after Hurricane Zeta left much of the area without power.
Saturday he sent out an update on locations that showed only two polling place changes, both in Lafourche Parish.
Ardoin did say that 68 of the 435 polling places in the affected area are still without power on Saturday.
"Our office is working with Entergy and other utility partners to restore power to polling locations. Polling locations without power restoration will receive generators to operate Election Day equipment," said a statement from his office.
Here is the parish-by-parish assessment from the Secretary of State's Office.

All 64 polling locations have received an all-clear for damage and power. No polling location changes are expected.
