These race previews show candidates we’re tracking now. A ZIP code shows your statewide and congressional races; a street address adds county and city contests. Local races are address-specific. This guide previews tracked contests, while the lookup tool narrows the list to a voter’s exact address. Tap any name to see the race, full candidate profiles, and everything else on your exact ballot. Louisiana uses an open ("jungle") primary: every qualified candidate for a seat, regardless of party, appears on the November 3, 2026 ballot together, and a candidate who wins an outright majority is elected; otherwise the top two finishers meet in a December 12, 2026 general election. Unopposed candidates do not print. Louisiana's congressional map was redrawn for 2026 after the U.S. Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision struck down the prior map, per the Secretary of State's candidate list.
