The Louisiana State Legislature referred a constitutional amendment related to the use of public funds for drinking water service lines to the Nov. 3, 2026, statewide general election ballot. Legislators passed the amendment on May 31, 2026.
In Louisiana, a two-thirds vote is required during a single session to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That amounts to a minimum of 70 votes in the Louisiana House of Representatives and 26 votes in the Louisiana State Senate, assuming there are no vacancies.
