路易斯安那州选民将表决州长终身任期限制 提前投票10月20日开始
路易斯安那州——该州选民将在11月3日中期选举中对第4号宪法修正案投票表决：是否把州长任期限制由现行的「最多连任两届」改为终身限制。州务卿办公室公布的日程显示，提前投票于10月20日开始、至10月27日止（10月25日周日除外），时间为上午8时30分至下午6时，选民须前往所在教区的指定提前投票点。
选票上的原文是：「你是否支持一项修正案，禁止曾担任州长超过一届半的人在今后任何任期中当选州长？」现行州宪法的限制只针对连续任期：州长连任两届后不得紧接着再选，但隔一段时间后可以重新参选。曾任满两届的前州长 John Bel Edwards 与 Bobby Jindal 按现行规则都可再度参选；若修正案通过，任何曾任州长超过一届半的人终身不得再当选。
该修正案源自州众议员 Mike Bayham 提出的第225号众议院法案（HB 225），州众议员 Mandie Landry 为共同提案人，州众议院以73票对25票、州参议院以28票对10票通过后，依法交付选民表决。
支持者认为，终身限制能让新人进入州长办公室、带来新思路；反对者则认为，应由选民自行决定把票投给谁，不应由任期规则排除经验丰富的前州长。据州公共事务研究委员会（PAR）的选民指南，全美另有9个州对州长实行终身任期限制。修正案须获得多数选民赞成方能通过。（GSM 据路易斯安那州公共事务研究委员会选民指南与州议会立法记录整理）

Louisiana Voters to Decide Lifetime Term Limit for Governors as Early Voting Opens October 20
LOUISIANA — Voters statewide will decide Amendment 4 in the November 3 midterm election: whether to replace the current limit of two consecutive terms for governor with a lifetime limit. Under the schedule published by the Secretary of State's office, early voting runs October 20 through October 27, excluding Sunday, October 25, from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at designated early voting sites in each parish.
The ballot asks: "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?" Under the current constitution, the cap applies only to consecutive service: a governor who has served two straight terms is barred from the next term but may run again after time out of office. Former governors John Bel Edwards and Bobby Jindal, each of whom served two terms, could run again under current rules; if the amendment passes, anyone who has served more than one and one-half terms could never be elected governor again.
The measure began as House Bill 225, sponsored by State Representative Mike Bayham with Representative Mandie Landry as co-author. It passed the House 73-25 and the Senate 28-10, which placed the constitutional proposal before voters.
Supporters say a lifetime limit brings new people and fresh perspective to the office; opponents say voters themselves should decide whom to elect. According to the voter guide published by the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana, nine other states already impose lifetime term limits on their governors. The amendment requires a majority of voters statewide to take effect. (GSM, based on the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana voter guide and state legislative records)
