Live-updating election results, maps and analysis of the 2023 Louisiana primary election for governor from The Washington Post.
Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards is term-limited and 14 candidates are running to replace him. Nine Republicans are on the ballot, hoping to take back the the governor’s office in a state Donald Trump won in both 2016 and 2020. Former state transportation secretary Shawn Wilson is the only major Democratic candidate in the race and is running with the current governor’s endorsement.
Louisiana is one of three states holding gubernatorial elections this year. The state uses a jungle primary system — all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party affiliation and if no candidate receives a majority of the vote, the top two vote-getters will advance to the general election on Nov. 18.
