  • Amendment 3: Allow local governments to share resources
  • Amendment 4: Diversions of dedicated transportation funding to state police
  • Amendment 5: Tax exemptions for property in trust
  • Amendment 6: Large tax increases on homes

Voting for the Louisiana Fantasy Sports Contests Act also takes place on Nov. 6. The parish-wide amendment determines whether or not online fantasy sports betting contests should be allowed in the voter’s parish.
