St. Tammany Parish Election Results

St. Tammany Parish voters approved at least two closely watched local tax renewals in Saturday’s June 27 election, including the Sheriff’s Office law enforcement millage and the parish wide mosquito abatement renewal, according to public statements and election-night reporting reviewed by Slidell Times.

The St. Tammany Parish Registrar of Voters listed a packed local ballot for parish residents, including Democratic and Republican U.S. Senate runoff races, a Republican Public Service Commission runoff, a Republican Board of Elementary and Secondary Education runoff, and several tax propositions. For voters in the City of Slidell, that ballot also included Proposition No. 1 and Proposition No. 2, both described by local election officials as millage continuations.

The Sheriff’s Office said voters approved its law enforcement millage renewal, which the agency said supports deputies, detectives, corrections staff, dispatchers and other personnel. Independent election-night reporting also said the renewal passed.

Election-night reporting from WWL likewise showed voters approving the St. Tammany Parish Mosquito Abatement District renewal, with the outlet reporting about 70 percent support. Search snippets tied to the same coverage showed 19,345 votes in favor and 8,428 against at the time those results were indexed. Slidell Times was not able to directly access the full underlying results page from WWL, but those figures matched the outlet’s election-night summary in search results.

For Slidell residents, the city had urged support for two continuation measures tied to basic services inside the city limits. In a June 2 post, city officials said the renewals were not new taxes and helped fund water and sewer service as well as residential garbage collection. The city also said failure of those measures could lead to higher utility fees, reduced garbage collection service, or higher water and sewer rates.

Slidell Times was able to verify that the two city propositions were on the ballot, but not independently confirm final certified vote totals for both Slidell measures from an official parish or state results page before publication. One indexed social-media result tied to WWL’s election coverage showed Slidell’s Proposition No. 2, labeled “Garbage,” running at roughly 70 percent yes and 30 percent no on election night. Because that figure came through an indexed social snippet rather than a directly accessible official results page, it should be treated as preliminary unless later confirmed by the Secretary of State or parish election officials.

Why This Matters In Slidell

These ballot items touch services Slidell residents use every day, from garbage pickup and sewer operations inside city limits to parishwide mosquito control and broader law enforcement coverage outside city jurisdiction. In a city where neighborhoods connect directly to major commuter routes including I-10, I-12, and U.S. 190, voters often weigh parishwide public-safety and infrastructure funding alongside local household costs.

For residents inside Slidell, the practical question is straightforward: whether existing property-tax-backed support for utility and sanitation services stays in place, or whether more of those costs eventually shift onto monthly bills and service adjustments.
