Louisiana Gubernatorial Two-Term Lifetime Limit Amendment (2026)
Source: voterportal.sos.la.gov
What does this measure do?
Louisiana would limit governors to two terms in a lifetime instead of two consecutive terms, so a former two-term governor could never run again. Voters would lose the option of electing a past two-term governor after a break.
