Landry sets special election dates for vacant Supreme Court, BESE seats
Gov. Jeff Landry has set election dates for seats on the Louisiana Supreme Court and state school board. Both districts are based on the north shore and were vacated earlier this month.
The first primary for both races will be held May 16. A primary runoff, if necessary, will be June 27, and the general election will be Nov. 3. The races will appear on the same ballots as the high profile U.S. Senate and Public Service Commission races taking place in 2026.
Voters will have to pick a new associate justice for District 1 on the Louisiana Supreme Court, which includes all or parts of Livingston, Orleans, St. Bernard, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Washington parishes.
They will also be picking a new District 1 member of the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, which includes all or parts of Jefferson, Orleans, St. Tammany and Tangipahoa parishes.
