How this guide is made

amendments

Every amendment on this ballot was passed by at least two-thirds of the Louisiana House and Senate. Amendments change the state constitution, so only voters can approve them.

Candidates

The list of races and candidates is the Candidates for the Nov. 3, 2026 election ↗, in the order the Secretary of State lists them, with names as they appear on the ballot. Each profile lists checkable facts with links to where they came from, the candidate's own stated priorities clearly labeled as theirs, and links to official records and campaign finance filings. We don't rate candidates, list endorsements, or publish polling.

Counties and local questions

This guide does not cover county and local races or local questions yet. Your sample ballot lists everything you will vote on.

Districts

District lines on the map come from U.S. Census Bureau files for the state Senate and state House districts, and the Louisiana Legislature's Act 2 (2026) file for U.S. House. Only one legislative race is on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot: State Representative District 92 (special election). Your sample ballot is the final word.
