Winn voters paralleled those in the state as they approved all four of the constitutional amendment proposals on the December 7 ballot. However, Winn’s approval rate was slightly less in each case.
Local interest in the amendments-only ballot was also lower than state figures, for while Louisiana voter turnout was just 10.8%, Winn’s was even lower at 6.6%.
Support was not overwhelming anywhere. Locally, Amendment No. 1 got 52% as did Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 2 fared the best with 61% and Amendment No. 4 gained a majority by only 2 votes, passing by a 281 to 279 margin.
