Live Results: Louisiana midterm state and congressional primaries

Key Points:

• Louisiana voters will participate in a new, streamlined primary on Saturday, featuring separate party primaries instead of the traditional jungle primary system for certain offices, including a high-stakes Republican U.S. Senate primary.
• Incumbent Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy faces challengers state Treasurer John Fleming and U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow, who has President Trump's endorsement; Cassidy's prior impeachment vote against Trump has made him a key target of the former president.
• The primary will also include contests for state Supreme Court, Public Service Commission, state school board, and five constitutional amendments, while U.S. House races are postponed due to redistricting issues and will be held in a jungle primary in November.
• Voters registered with a party may only vote in their party's primary, with independents allowed to choose either primary; early and absentee ballots accounted for about 41-45% of votes in the 2024 primaries.
• The Associated Press will report results after polls close at 8 p.m. CT, declaring winners only when outcomes are clear, and recounts can be requested but are not automatic in Louisiana.
