This page details signature requirements for statewide ballot measures in Louisiana.
Louisiana is one of the 24 states that do not have initiative and referendum. Thus, Louisiana citizens cannot qualify a ballot measure for the statewide ballot through collecting signatures, and there is no signature requirement for ballot measures in Louisiana.
Although Louisiana does not feature the power of initiative or referendum, ballot measures still play a role in the state's politics. The Louisiana State Legislature can put legislatively referred constitutional amendments on the ballot for ratification or rejection by the voters.
