Webster Parish voters will return to the polls Saturday, June 27, to decide party nominees for Louisiana’s U.S. Senate race and weigh several local tax propositions affecting schools and municipalities.
Polls will be open from 7 AM until 8 PM.
The ballot will vary by party affiliation and precinct, but all voters will have at least one race or proposition to consider.
Democratic voters will choose between Gary Crockett and “Jamie” Davis in the runoff for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
Republican voters will select either John Fleming or Julia Letlow in the Republican runoff for U.S. Senate.
The Senate contests follow the May 16 primary election, in which Davis led the Democratic field and Fleming finished first among Republican candidates.
In addition to the Senate races, many Webster Parish voters will see local tax propositions on their ballots.
A parishwide proposition asks voters whether to authorize the Webster Parish School Board Educational Facilities Improvement District to levy a 1% sales and use tax for 20 years beginning Oct. 1, 2026.
The tax would exclude food and prescription drugs and is estimated to generate approximately $4.1 million annually. According to the proposition, proceeds would provide additional funding for authorized purposes benefiting the public school system throughout the district.
For voters in the Town of Sarepta, a separate proposition seeks approval of a 2.5% sales and use tax to be collected in perpetuity beginning April 1, 2027.
The tax is projected to generate about $282,500 annually. Revenue would be available for any lawful municipal purpose, including capital improvements. The proposition also authorizes the town to pledge tax proceeds toward bonds for eligible projects.
Voters in Consolidated School District No. 3 will consider a millage rededication proposition involving an existing 25.21-mill property tax approved through 2037.
If approved, the measure would allow all proceeds from the tax, estimated at approximately $975,375 annually, to be rededicated for additional support of public schools within the district. Authorized uses would include acquiring, constructing, repairing, improving, maintaining, and operating school facilities, equipment, and programs.
The June 27 election follows legislative changes that moved Louisiana’s U.S. House of Representatives races to the state’s fall election cycle. Those congressional contests will now be held during the November 3 open primary, with a December 12 general election if necessary.
