Louisiana voters on Dec. 10 approved a number of state constitutional amendments, including one that bans non-U.S. citizens from voting in elections.

All three amendments, which also include requiring the state Senate to approve the governor’s appointments to the Civil Service Commission and Senate confirmation of State Police Commission members, received 73 percent of voters’ support.
