🗳️VOTER ALERT: Guess what? It's time to put the "People's Petition" in play ... FINALLY after years of city council battles, Town Halls, lawsuits, and more all against entrenched incumbents!

EARLY voting period began on Saturday, April 19, and will run through Saturday, April 26, not including Sunday, April 20. Each day, the polls will be open from 8:30 a.m. through 6 p.m.

ELECTION STATEMENT: We are going to continue to educate the public to ✅ VOTE YES MAY 3rd TERM LIMITS ELECTION.

"The term limits version approved by voters on March 29 allows a councilman to run an additional 12 years, sit out a term, then run another 12 years; and we are absolutely opposed to that as the final term limits." said Bossier Term Limits Coalition founding member Michael Duke Lowrie.

As most of you know, the "Watered Down" Term Limits from the beleaguered Charter Commission did pass while the "amended and restated City Charter" failed miserably.

BOSSIER CITY, La. - Bossier City politicians will officially have term limits, but what kind of term limits they have is still up in the air.
