Who's running so far in Louisiana's party primary elections [View all]

Candidates have one day left to sign up for the 2026 elections in Louisiana, including the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Public Service Commission, Louisiana Supreme Court and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Louisiana has completely overhauled how voters will choose candidates. Instead of everyone facing off against each other in a “jungle primary,” separate primaries for Democrat and Republican candidates take place May 16, with runoffs on June 27 if needed. Candidates who advance from these primary elections move on to the general election Nov. 3.

Voters are limited to participating in the primary aligned with their party registration, though voters who are not party members can cast ballots in the primary election of their choice.

Here’s where the races stand as of end of day Thursday:
