Voters statewide will be asked to vote on six proposed amendments to the Louisiana Constitution on the November 6 ballot.

Among the most important is Amendment No. 2, which addresses an issue of historic proportions in that the current non-unanimous jury law is rooted in 19th century cultural settings and sets the state apart from the rest of the nation.

In addition to the six amendments, there will be a ballot question determining which parishes will allow fantasy sports contests.
