SECRETARY LANDRY ANNOUNCES CLOSED PARTY PRIMARY EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN
Baton Rouge, La.— Louisiana Secretary of State Nancy Landry announces the beginning of a comprehensive, months-long, statewide education campaign to inform voters of the legislatively-mandated transition to closed party primaries starting in 2026. The campaign begins with an educational mail piece to all households having at least one registered voter, which will arrive in voters’ mailboxes in the coming days.
“This educational campaign will ensure that all voters are empowered with the knowledge they need ahead of the transition to closed party primaries,” Secretary Landry said. “Because party affiliation is key to participating in the party primaries, I urge all voters to check their voter registration at GeauxVote.com and to make updates as needed.”
Per Act 1 of the 2024 First Extraordinary Session, the change to closed party primaries only applies to the offices of U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, Louisiana Supreme Court, Public Service Commission (PSC), and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE). Other ballot contests will be open to all voters.
Voters are encouraged to visit GeauxVote.com/CPP, download the free Geaux Vote Mobile App, follow the Louisiana Secretary of State on social media, contact their parish Registrar of Voters or Clerk of Court, or call the Secretary of State’s Election Hotline at 800-883-2805 to learn more.

These instruments will help Louisiana continue on the path to being ranked first in the nation in election integrity.

- SCR 35 by Senator Rick Edmonds: Calls for a procedural election audit by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor every four years
The contents of SB 109 by Senator Alan Seabaugh and HB 590 by Representative Annie Spell, which bans foreign funding of election contests and ballot measures, were amended into Representative Mark Wright’s HB 693.
