Overview
Louisiana's 2026 cycle is headlined by a U.S. Senate race without its incumbent: Senator Bill Cassidy lost the May 16 Republican primary under the state's new closed primary system, and Representative Julia Letlow faces state Treasurer John Fleming in a June 27 runoff. All six U.S. House seats are also up, shifted to an all-party November 3 primary under a new congressional map after the Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais ruling. There is no 2026 governor's race; Louisiana next elects a governor in 2027. Prediction Edge connects live market odds with candidate pages, polling context, official dates and market-moving updates for every tracked Louisiana race.

2026 Louisiana Elections FAQ
When is the 2026 Louisiana primary election?
The 2026 Louisiana primary election is on May 16, 2026.
When is the 2026 Louisiana general election?
The 2026 Louisiana general election is on Nov 3, 2026.
What races are on the ballot in Louisiana in 2026?
The November 3, 2026 ballot includes the general election for Louisiana's Class 2 U.S. Senate seat and an all-party open primary for all six U.S. House districts, held under the congressional map adopted after the Supreme Court's Callais decision. House races without a majority winner go to December 12 runoffs. Local offices and ballot propositions can also appear. There is no governor's race in 2026.
How does Louisiana's primary work?
Louisiana now uses party primaries for federal and certain state offices: registered Democrats and Republicans vote in their own party's primary, voters registered with no party may choose one, and other-party registrants are excluded; runoffs follow if no candidate wins a majority. The 2026 primary was held May 16, with runoffs set for June 27. For 2026 only, U.S. House races reverted to an all-party open primary on November 3.
Why is the 2026 Louisiana US Senate race important?
Louisiana does not elect a governor in 2026; the next gubernatorial election is in 2027, when first-term Governor Jeff Landry's seat is on the ballot, and markets are already pricing that race. In 2026, the marquee contest is the U.S. Senate seat, where incumbent Bill Cassidy lost the May 16 Republican primary, plus six U.S. House races run under a newly redrawn congressional map.
