Winn voters went to the polls Saturday and registered their opposition to four state amendment propositions that had been offered by the legislature.  But local opposition was not quite so high as the statewide figures, the turnouts revealed.

Across Winn, the average result was 40% in favor of the amendment proposals and 60% against.  The statewide figures hovered about 35% for and 65% against.

With no candidates, taxes or major local issues on the ballot, voter turnout was not expected to be very high but the 1,470 who did vote early, absentee or on Election Day may have been more than projected, representing 17.5% of the registered voters in the parish.

Amendment proposals related to disciplinary procedures for attorneys, power (and limitations) on tax issues, crimes committed by juveniles and election dates for newly-created judgeships.
