Louisiana held primary elections for eight Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education seats on October 12, 2019. A general election was scheduled for November 16, 2019.[1]
Louisiana elections use the Louisiana majority-vote system. All candidates compete in the same primary, and a candidate can win the election outright by receiving more than 50% of the vote. If no candidate does, the top two vote recipients from the primary advance to the general election, regardless of their partisan affiliation.
