The St. Helena Parish Police Jury on Jan. 28 adopted Ordinance No. 2025‑01‑28 to permanently relocate the polling places for Ward 1 Precinct 1 and Ward 1 Precinct 2 from 5080 Highway 1043, Greensburg, LA 70441, to the North Helena Fire Station at 5138 Highway 1043, Greensburg, LA 70441.
The public hearing on the ordinance was opened by Warren McCray, Jr. and closed with no public comments. The jury’s adoption motion passed unanimously after a second by Quanika H. Muse. The ordinance text notes the move is a short distance (0.03 miles) and states it will not change voter registration or racial demographics in the affected precincts.
The relocation alters only the physical polling location address and does not require voters to re‑register, according to the ordinance language adopted. The jury took the action at its regular meeting; no objections or public testimony were recorded during the hearing.
The ordinance is recorded as Ordinance No. 2025‑01‑28. The jury’s next regular meeting is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025.
