Voters statewide will be asked to decide "yes" or "no" on seven proposed amendments to the Louisiana Constitution as well as a statewide sports betting proposition on the November 3rd, 2020, ballot. This PAR Guide to the 2020 Constitutional Amendments
provides a review of each proposed amendment in the order they will appear on the ballot.
The Guide is educational and does not recommend how to vote. It offers concise analysis and provides argument of proponents and opponents. This year's lineup will be especially challenging as the degree of legislative debate on this latest set of proposals was as sparse as ever witnessed due to the uncertain nature of this past spring. Each proposal was passed in legislative session earlier this year and now needs a majority vote at the polls as required for passage of constitutional amendments. The governor cannot veto proposals for constitutional amendments. Voters must do their part by evaluating each proposed amendment to develop informed decisions.
