AI Summary

The election, which can only occur once, will be conducted according to the Louisiana Election Code for proposition elections, with the parish government responsible for its costs and for notifying the Louisiana Gaming Control Board of the outcome. If a majority of voters approve sports wagering, it will be allowed in Sabine Parish; otherwise, it will not be permitted.
