Here are the final numbers from early voting for this election:
A total of 264,855 of Louisiana's 2,976,612 registered voters have cast early ballots. That's about 9 percent.
The primary had the lowest turnout in more than 20 years, meaning that about 18 percent of Louisiana's registered voters selected the new governor, Jeff Landry. Pundits have predicted turnout for the general election will be even lower. Statewide, turnout for early voting in the primary was about 12 percent.
