Two seats in the 39-member Louisiana Senate are open after two current senators won races for other elected positions in November. The dates for both the primary and runoff elections to fill the two impending vacancies are now set, according to Secretary of State spokesperson Joel Watson.

Louisiana voters decided on four measures to amend the state’s constitution in Saturday’s election. Turnout was just over 10%, according to the Louisiana Secretary of State.

During Louisiana's December 7 elections, voters decided on four constitutional amendments covering judicial accountability, legislative procedures, and tax reforms. Here's how these changes could impact the state.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Polling stations closed Saturday evening (Dec. 7) as Louisiana voters cast their ballots in this year’s Congressional General Election. Results are now being tallied, offering a glimpse into the outcomes of several important races and ballot measures.

The Louisiana Secretary of State's office updates election results every 90 seconds as results are counted. You can find those vote totals here for statewide and legislative races, as well as local races by parish. This includes New Orleans, Lafayette, Baton Rouge and Shreveport metro areas.

This amendment would give Louisiana’s supreme court new powers to discipline sitting judges, adding “malfeasance” to the list of punishable behaviors. It would also empower the supreme court to direct the judicial commission to investigate a judge, and this group, which currently has nine members, would get five new political appointees.

This amendment would revise Louisiana’s tax sale system, in which local governments auction off properties that are delinquent on paying taxes. This measure would shift these provisions from the state constitution to state law; limit the amount of interest owed; and allow the postponement of payment during declared emergencies.

Over the weekend, voters approved all four constitutional amendments on the ballot in the 2024 December election.
