Early voting for March 29 election begins today - American Press

Early voting for the March 29 Municipal Primary Election starts on March 15 and runs until March 22, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. To 6 p.m., according to Secretary of State Nancy Landry.
Voters can cast their ballots on four proposed Constitutional amendments affecting taxes, court systems, juvenile treatment, and elections for judges in every parish.
Amendment 2 aims to overhaul Louisiana's tax system and remove certain property tax exemptions, requiring a two-thirds legislative vote for new tax breaks, as noted by Department of Revenue Secretary Richard Nelson.
Amendment 3 broadens the criteria for charging juveniles as adults, but opponents express concerns that it could lead to increased incarceration of juveniles in adult prisons, which may not improve safety.
