The St. Mary Registrar of Voters Office says 754 people voted early for the March 25 primary election.
Early voting opened March 11 and ended at 6 p.m. Saturday.
The ballot features a proposed parish charter amendment that would raise the parish president's salary, currently at $12,000, to the average of the salaries of the parish's five mayors, currently close to $50,000.
Voters in St. Mary School Board District 4 in the Franklin area will also choose a board member. The candidates are Debra R. Jones, who has served as an interim member since former member Pearl Rack resigned last fall, and Mark R. Romero. Both candidates are from Franklin.
The regular election date is March 25, when the polls will be open 7 a.m.-8 p.m.
