Elections for the office of Louisiana State Representative were held on November 19, 2011. Each of the state's 105 representatives were up for election. Members are elected to four-year terms.
The 2011 election was the state's first election under its new legislative maps. Following the 2010 census, the state redrew its legislative boundaries to account for growth and shifts in the state's population. The Louisiana State Legislature was responsible for the redistricting process.
Louisiana was just one of four states that held state House elections in 2011. The other three states that have their state house elections in odd-numbered years are New Jersey, Mississippi, and Virginia. Louisiana was the only state to hold its 2011 legislative elections on a Saturday.
Candidates wishing to run for the Louisiana House of Representatives were required to file their nominating signatures or candidate filing fees between September 6 and September 8. The state primary election took place on October 22, 2011.
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.

Term limits
Of the 15 states, it is the only state where term limits were imposed by the state's legislators, rather than through the ballot initiative process. Under Louisiana's term limits, state representatives can serve no more than three 4-year terms in the House.
As of the 2011 election, there were 105 Louisiana State Representatives. In 2011, 10 of them, or 9.5% of the total house seats, were ineligible to run for re-election. Of them, 5 were Democratic state representatives and 3 were Republican.
In addition to the 10 state representatives who left office because of term limits, 6 state senators were also termed-out.
The 10 members of the state house who were ineligible to run in November were:
|
Democrats (5): |
Republicans (4): |
Independents (1) |
Impact of redistricting
- See also: Redistricting in Louisiana
Every 10 years, the Constitution requires states to redraw Congressional and state legislative districts based on updated Census information. In 2011, Louisiana was the second state to complete its state legislative redistricting. Its 39 senate and 105 house districts were re-drawn by the Legislature and approved by Governor Bobby Jindal.
The new state House of Representatives map added two new majority-minority seats. Three more seats were allocated to the Baton Rouge area.

Majority control
- See also: Partisan composition of state houses
Going into the November 2011 elections, the Republican Party was the majority party in 31 state houses, including Louisiana. One chamber (Nebraska) is officially nonpartisan, and in one chamber (Alaska), several Republicans vote with a caucus other than the Republican caucus. In 19 states, the Democratic Party was the majority party.
In the other three states with state House elections in 2011, the Republican Party held the majority party in Virginia, while the Democratic Party held the majority party in Mississippi and New Jersey.
