- These elections followed vacancies and routine ballot scheduling, such as the East Baton Rouge special election after Larry Selders won a state Senate seat earlier.
- The Lake Charles mayoral race resulted in independent Marshall Simien Jr. Defeating Republican incumbent Nic Hunter, while multiple school districts approved or renewed taxes and bonds.
- The Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office property tax was approved by a slim margin of two votes and is projected to bring in close to $14 million over a decade, whereas the East Baton Rouge 4-mill levy, which voters rejected, would have produced $24 million each year.
