Background

This is a renewal: the proposition asks whether Cemetery District No. 6 of Evangeline Parish may continue to levy its existing 1.12-mill property tax for another 10 years (2027–2036), according to the Louisiana Secretary of State's proposition text.

The Evangeline Parish Police Jury requested the election; the State Bond Commission's June 18, 2026 agenda lists it among seven cemetery and road district tax renewals for Evangeline Parish (item L26-205).

The proposition estimates the tax will raise $20,000 a year, to be used for maintaining and upkeeping public cemeteries in the district.

Put on the ballot by Evangeline Parish Police Jury; election request on the State Bond Commission's June 18, 2026 agenda (L26-205).
