Voting in Louisiana
We couldn’t check the state election office’s pages word for word (some state sites block automated reading), so we don’t restate its rules here.

Federal candidate lists come from FEC filings. A candidate is marked “on the ballot” once their campaign files a pre-general report or the state’s official candidate list confirms it; others filed for 2026 but may have lost a primary or withdrawn.
