Early voting begins Saturday for March 29 elections; 4 constitutional amendments

Early voting in Louisiana begins Saturday for the March 29 election to decide the fate of four constitutional amendments and, for some voters, local races.

Early voting takes place from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. March 15-22, excluding Sunday, March 16. 

Voters in all parishes will have four constitutional amendments on the ballot, while a select number of towns and parishes will get to decide on local propositions and offices, according to Secretary of State Nancy Landry. 

The election will decide who gets a seat on the 21st Judicial District Court that covers Tangipahoa, Livingston and St. Helena parishes. Democrats did not enter a candidate for this race, so three Republicans are jockeying for the seat.

Fourteen parishes will have local races on the ballots: Avoyelles, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Livingston, Morehouse, Rapides, Richland, Sabine, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. Mary, Vermilion, Vernon and Washington.

There are 17 parishes with local propositions on the ballots: Acadia, Allen, Assumption, Claiborne, Iberia, Jackson, Lafayette, Lafourche, Orleans, Ouachita, Plaquemines, St. James, St. Landry, Terrebonne, Union, Webster and West Baton Rouge.

Ten parishes have local races and ballot referendums: Ascension, Bossier, Caddo, DeSoto, East Baton Rouge, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Red River, St. Tammany and Tangipahoa.

Voters who are not overseas but cannot vote in-person still have time to request and cast an absentee ballot. The deadline to request an absentee ballot is 4:30 p.m. March 25, and completed ballots must be turned in by 4:30 p.m. March 28. 

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day, March 29.

SUMMARY: A weathered banner from Zachary Richard’s Reveille concert symbolizes Acadiana’s enduring cultural spirit, rooted in solidarity and pride. This legacy, born of resistance to cultural erasure, now flourishes through artists who merge local identity with global relevance. From Drake LeBlanc’s assertion that culture is lived, to artists like Mare Martin, Herb Roe, and Carley Dupré, contemporary work reflects both tradition and innovation. Amid national arts funding crises, Acadiana’s creative institutions are expanding, proving art is foundational, not peripheral. Regional art here isn’t just preservation—it’s living memory, countering homogenization by showing how deeply rooted culture fosters global dialogue.
