Elections
2015
Elections for the Louisiana House of Representatives took place in 2015. A primary election was held on October 24, 2015, with a general election held in districts where necessary on November 21, 2015. The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was September 10, 2015, at 4:30 p.m. CDT.[1]
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.
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article. Democrats John Bagneris, Alicia Clivens, Willie Jones, and Shawn Lockett faced off in the October 24 blanket primary. Bagneris and Clivens advanced to the November 21 runoff, where Bagneris won election. Jason Hughes (D) was disqualified before the primary.[2][3]
