This market resolves YES if Louisiana Amendment 4 (Do you support an amendment to prohibit a person who has served more than one and one-half terms as governor from being elected as governor for any future term? (Amends Article IV, Section 3(B))) is approved by voters at the November 3, 2026 general election under its official approval rule:
Simple majority of electors voting on the amendment statewide (La. Const. art. XIII §1(C)); no local-majority requirement.
Only the November 3, 2026 vote counts; earlier votes on similar proposals do not. YES means voter approval at this election, not that the measure is later implemented.
What the votes mean (official summary):
YES: Lifetime limit: a person who has served more than 1.5 terms as governor can never again be elected governor.
NO: Current consecutive-term limit stays; a two-term governor may run again after sitting out a term.
Results: resolves on the result certified by Secretary of State verifies, compiles and promulgates returns (La. R.S. 18:574(D)); Governor proclaims adoption (Const. art. XIII §1(C)).. It may resolve earlier once official returns or the Associated Press show the outcome cannot change and no recount is pending; if a recount or certified correction changes the outcome before resolution, the certified result controls.
No vote: if the measure is removed from the ballot, a court orders its votes not to be counted, or the vote is postponed beyond November 3, 2026, the market resolves N/A.
Later legal challenges: resolution follows voter approval as certified. A court later invalidating, enjoining or delaying the measure does not change the resolution.
Starting probability: 50% is a neutral starting seed, not a forecast.
