Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Five constitutional amendments were put to a vote by Louisiana voters on May 16. The results show that five out of six proposed amendments were rejected.

The closed primary system, which was implemented for the U.S. Senate race, has caused confusion among some voters. This system requires voters to declare their party affiliation before casting their ballots.

According to reports, the closed primary led to a number of issues at polling stations on election day. Some voters expressed difficulty in determining how to cast their votes due to the new system.

In addition to the closed primary, five constitutional amendments were also put to a vote. The results show that all five amendments were rejected by voters.

The Louisiana Governor’s office had supported some of the proposed amendments, but ultimately they were not approved by voters.

The exact details of each amendment and their outcomes are as follows:

  • Amendment 1: Rejected
  • Amendment 2: Rejected
  • Amendment 3: Rejected
  • Amendment 4: Rejected
  • Amendment 5: Rejected

The outcome of the vote will have implications for future elections in Louisiana.
