District lines to be used from the 2026 elections, per SB 121 signed by the Governor of Louisiana on May 29, 2026[1]
Interactive map version

The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Louisiana will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the 6 U.S. representatives from the State of Louisiana, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with the other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. In races where no candidate receives over 50% of the vote, runoff elections will take place on December 12, 2026.

Party primary elections were originally scheduled to be held on May 16, 2026, with the potential of primary runoffs being held on June 27 in elections where no candidate wins a majority in the primary.[2][3] On April 30, Governor Jeff Landry announced that he would postpone the state's May 16 primaries to give state legislators time to redraw congressional maps following the Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais.[4]

Louisiana's U.S. House primaries will be held using the old "jungle" primary system, in which all candidates regardless of party compete on the same ballot on November 3. 50% support is required to win the election outright, otherwise a runoff is scheduled for December 12.[5]
