On Sept. 9th, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D), Postponed the State's Fall Elections. The State has No Primary. If in the General Election, No Candidate gets 50%+1, The Top-Two Candidates goes to a Run-Off Election.
The State's First-Round and Second-Round Elections, will now take place on Nov. 13th and Dec. 11th.
The First-Round and Second-Round Elections were originally Scheduled to take place on Oct. 9th and Nov. 13th.
Louisiana Secretary of State, Kyle Ardoin said, "A number of issues stemming from Hurricane Ida's devastation, including questions about nursing home operations, postal service delivery, extensive power outages, polling location damages, and election commissioners and staff members still displaced, would make holding the election on its original dates virtually impossible without impairing the integrity of the election."
The Fall Ballot includes Three Special State Legislative Elections, Municipal Elections in New Orleans, Four Constitutional Amendments, and Several Local Ballot Measures.
The Louisiana State Legislature referred Four Constitutional Amendments to the Ballot. The Measures concern Taxes and the State Budget.
The Louisiana Constitution Limits Legislation and Constitutional Amendments, in Odd-Numbered years, to matters concerning the State's Budget, Government Finance, and Taxation.
