The party nominees from the closed primaries meet. The candidate with the most votes wins.
Candidates: Nominees as listed by The Green Papers and reported by WAFB (June 28, 2026), checked November 2, 2026; major party nominees; see the official ballot for every candidate. Checked November 2, 2026. Last margin: Louisiana Secretary of State, certified results, November 3, 2020; candidate votes agree with the Official Congressional Directory, October 2022: votes cast for senators in 2020, from official statistics compiled by the Clerk of the House. Black Vote Power: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey.
30.7% of citizens old enough to vote in Louisiana are Black: 1,046,471 of 3,413,946 (2020 to 2024).
In any race here decided by fewer points than 30.7, whether Black citizens turn out and how they vote can decide the result. This counts citizens old enough to vote, not registered voters or turnout, which are counted separately.

Your U.S. House member and state legislators depend on your street address. Look up your address.
SourceLine does not forecast races. These outlets publish forecasts, each with its own method and date. Read them as estimates, side by side, never as results.
The state certifies its results on the schedule in state law; the date is not on SourceLine yet. Until then every number here is a SourceLine Count, labelled Where It Stands and not yet certified. Once certified, races read On the Record.
We will email you when the people who serve this place make a decision on the topics you pick, with who voted and how to be heard.
Every figure on this page shows the year it describes. Public agencies release their numbers on their own schedules, often a year or more after the work of counting is done. The Census Bureau, for example, publishes its five year community survey each December, and the national reading test is given every two years. That is why some figures are not from this year. SourceLine updates each one as soon as the agency publishes it.
For some counties and small towns, SourceLine has not found meeting records online. Where it has not, we add them as they become available. A page that says SourceLine hasn’t updated a record yet means exactly that.
