Orleans Parish, Louisiana, held a primary election for parish coroner on October 14, 2017. Dwight McKenna (D) defeated incumbent Jeffrey Rouse (D) for the coroner's office. Incumbents for four offices - sheriff, civil court clerk, criminal court clerk, and assessor - were automatically re-elected without appearing on the ballot due to a lack of opposition. A general election was not necessary because no primaries featured more than two candidates. The filing deadline for this election was July 14, 2017.[1][2]
