Every statewide office and every seat in the Louisiana Legislature will be on the ballot Saturday, with runoffs set for Nov. 18.
Louisiana’s majority-vote system includes all candidates for each office, regardless of party, on the ballot for Saturday, when it takes at least 50% plus one vote to win. If that doesn’t happen, the top two with the most votes move to the Nov. 18 runoff.
Attorney General Jeff Landry, backed by former President Donald Trump and the state Republican Party, has led fundraising and polls throughout the race. At the same time, Democratic voters are expected to line up behind Wilson, perhaps leading to a runoff. Every poll since July has shown Landry with a commanding lead.
