Sources re-checked September 25, 2026 · How we research

  • Louisiana's 2026 U.S. House elections use a "majority vote" (all-party) system: every candidate, regardless of party, appears on one ballot on November 3, 2026 (Louisiana's filing deadline was August 7, 2026). If no candidate wins a majority, the top two finishers advance to a December 12, 2026 general election. The partisan primary and runoff originally scheduled for May and June 2026 were canceled after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Louisiana v. Callais that the state's congressional map was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, requiring a new map.[1]

Issue evidence — side by side

Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.
