Bill > HB625

This bill provides for a special statewide election to be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, specifically for submitting proposed constitutional amendments to Louisiana voters. These amendments will be those contained in joint resolutions that are concurred in by both houses of the Louisiana Legislature during the 2025 Regular Session. The election will be conducted in full compliance with the Louisiana Election Code, ensuring that all standard electoral procedures and regulations are followed. The bill will become effective upon the governor's signature or after the legal time for bill approval expires. Importantly, the bill includes a provision that renders it void if no constitutional amendment joint resolution specifying this election date is approved during the 2025 Regular Session. This ensures that the special election will only occur if there are actual proposed amendments to be considered by the state's electors.
