The St. Helena Parish Police Jury acknowledged a notice from the Louisiana Secretary of State that Mary Hall will retire from the office of Registrar of Voters effective July 31, 2025.

R.S. 18:51(c)(1)(a) the parish has 90 days from the date of vacancy to appoint a successor — on or before Oct. 29, 2025.
