Amendment 5
Amendment 5
Louisiana · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Increase the judicial retirement age from 70 to 75
A yes vote means
Judges can work until they're 75 instead of having to retire at 70.
A no vote means
The retirement age for judges stays at 70.
Simple explanation
Right now, judges have to retire when they turn 70. This would push that back to 75, so they can keep their job a few more years if they want to. It's like saying someone can stay at their job longer before they have to step aside.
