One special election was scheduled for the Louisiana State Legislature in 2014. This election was called to fill a vacancy in Louisiana House of Representatives District 97.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the Louisiana State Legislature, the vacant seat must be filled by a special election. An election is required if there are six months or more left in the unexpired term. The presiding officer in the house where the vacancy happened must call for an election no later than 10 days after the vacancy occurred. The presiding officer must determine the dates for the election along with all filing deadlines. The person elected to the seat serves for the remainder of the unexpired term.[1]
