Louisiana always holds their state elections on a Saturday.

Not sure why though. They just do.

The French, and Louisiana, hold preliminary round elections with all candidates from all parties included. If one does not get a majority, they take the two most popular and hold a runoff vote a few weeks later.

Jindal crushed the field with a Constitutional Amendment sized 2/3 of the vote in the primary.

I wonder if this has EVER happened in Louisiana history.

It’s a good idea; no need to take time from work or rush around before/after work to get to the polls.

A state that has parishes instead of counties is bound to do some things differently.
