House Bill No. by Representative Boyer proposes a constitutional amendment to Article VI, Section 22 of the Louisiana Constitution, which governs the procedure for certain special elections, specifically local government bond and tax elections. The amendment stipulates that these elections may only be held during a regularly scheduled primary election, with the exception that a special election can be authorized by law enacted by a two-thirds vote of the elected members of each house of the legislature. This change aims to streamline the election process for local finance matters and ensure that bond and tax propositions are presented to voters during established election periods.

The proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters of Louisiana for approval or rejection during the statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026. The official ballot will include a proposition asking voters if they support the amendment to require that any local bond or tax election be held only during a regularly scheduled primary election. This legislative effort reflects a move towards more structured election timing for local financial decisions, potentially enhancing voter participation and clarity in the electoral process.
