Nearly two-thirds of Louisiana voters rejected all four constitutional amendments championed by Gov. Jeff Landry (R-LA), preserving the state’s current tax, legal, and judicial systems.
A campaign opposing the measures, “No to Them All, Ya’ll,” said the results sent a clear message that the amendments lacked public support. Landry blamed the outcome on “far left liberals” and misinformation about Amendment 2, which sought to lower the maximum income tax rate and restrict annual budget increases.
In several Republican-leaning parishes, including Landry’s own St. Martin Parish and Jefferson Parish, voters still rejected the proposals.
Amendment 1 (65.1% opposed) would have allowed the legislature to create specialty courts and granted the Louisiana Supreme Court authority over out-of-state lawyers.
Amendment 2 (64% opposed) targeted tax reforms and spending caps but failed, keeping the current income tax structure.
Amendment 3 (66% opposed) sought to ease transferring minors to adult prisons.
Amendment 4 (64% opposed) would have changed judicial election timelines.
Turnout exceeded expectations at 21%, driven by strong early Democratic voting.
