A Supreme Court decision that invalidated Louisiana’s 2024 congressional maps has reignited a redistricting battle, after some primary elections have already been held.

Jeff Landry subsequently canceled the primary elections for the House seats, though other primaries are scheduled to continue uninterrupted, with early voting beginning May 9.
