Louisiana Votes, The Gubernatorial General Election
Nov 15, 2019 10:11AM ● By News Desk
Louisiana voters head to the polls once again on Saturday, November 16th to settle run-off races left unresolved by the October 12th primary election.
In statewide elections, Gov. John Bel Edwards is fighting for a second term in a run-off against Republican businessman Eddie Rispone. Should Edwards hold on to the seat, he will be the only Democratic Governor in the deep south. The only other statewide election is for Secretary of State, where Interim Secretary, Kyle Ardoin (R) faces off with “Gwen” Collins-Greenup (D).
Throughout the state, registered voters will decide on numerous local and regional seats up for grabs in this gubernatorial election.
> 27 parishes have statewide & local races, and limited jurisdiction proposition
> 20 parishes have statewide & local elections only
> 7 parishes have statewide & local races, and parishwide proposition elections
> 7 parishes have statewide & local races, parishwide and limited jurisdiction proposition elections
> 1 parish (Pointe Coupee) has statewide races and a parishwide proposition
In the Acadiana parishes of Lafayette, Acadia, Iberia, St. Landry, St. Martin, and Vermilion, voter turnout is expected to be heavy, so officials are asking voters to be prepared before arriving at the polls.
