Louisiana house primaries suspended
Definition
A recent political development in the U.S. state of Louisiana where primary elections for U.S. House of Representatives seats were suspended in late April 2026, following a Supreme Court ruling invalidating the state's congressional district map under the Voting Rights Act.
The suspension, enacted by Republican Governor Jeff Landry, postpones the May 16 primaries to allow legislative redrawing of maps, amid criticisms of partisan maneuvering to favor GOP candidates.
