A $325 million casino project slated for Slidell was shot down by voters in St. Tammany Parish after a bruising, expensive campaign that saw millions of dollars in outside spending from both sides.

St. Tammany Parish residents will soon vote on whether to reverse a 1996 election that banned gambling in the parish and allow a casino to open near Slidell. The project has caused controversy between those who would welcome the tax dollars and those who fear a spike in crime and decreasing property values near the site.

East Baton Rouge Parish voters passed a tax renewal that brought the Capital Area Transportation System between $18 million and $20 million annually from 2018 to 2020 by 59%, according to the Secretary of State's Office.

Voters also rejected amendments to increase levee districts taxing authority, and allow lawmakers to tap into larger portion dedicated funds to address mid-year budget deficits.

In this guide, we give you a breakdown of these amendments and dates to know as you prepare to head to the polls.
