Louisiana uses an open ("jungle") primary: every qualified candidate for a seat, regardless of party, appears on the November 3, 2026 ballot together, and a candidate who wins an outright majority is elected; otherwise the top two finishers meet in a December 12, 2026 general election. Unopposed candidates do not print. Louisiana's congressional map was redrawn for 2026 after the U.S. Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision struck down the prior map, per the Secretary of State's candidate list.
