Elections
2017
A special election for the position of Louisiana State Senate District 2 was called for April 29, 2017. A general election was called for May 27, 2017. The filing deadline for political parties to nominate their candidates to run in this election was March 17, 2017.[2]
Louisiana elections use the Louisiana majority-vote system. All candidates compete in the same primary, and a candidate can win the election outright by receiving more than 50% of the vote. If no candidate does, the top two vote recipients from the primary advance to the general election, regardless of their partisan affiliation.
