Louisiana voters head to the polls on May 16, 2026, to decide on five proposed constitutional amendments that touch civil service rules, school governance, teacher pay, property taxes and judicial retirement age. The ballot also includes other races and local contests, but the state's U.S. House primaries were suspended after a legal ruling and executive order, leaving the remaining May 16 items in place.
The Louisiana Secretary of State says the five amendments on the ballot are the only statewide propositions voters will see on May 16. Together, they cover major policy questions that could reshape how state government operates, how schools are funded and how local tax breaks are handled.
