The 2014 United States Senate election in Louisiana will be held on November 4, 2014. Incumbent Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu intends to run for a fourth term.
If no candidate receives 50 percent plus one vote in the primary election, the general election between the top two candidates in the primary will be held December 6, 2014.
Background
Elections in Louisiana, with the exception of U.S. presidential elections, follow a variation of the open primary system called the jungle primary. Candidates of any and all parties are listed on one ballot; voters need not limit themselves to the candidates of one party. Unless one candidate takes more than 50% of the vote in the first round, a run-off election is then held between the top two candidates, who may in fact be members of the same party. This scenario occurred in the 7th District congressional race in 1996, when Democrats Chris John and Hunter Lundy made the runoff for the open seat, and in 1999, when Republicans Suzanne Haik Terrell and Woody Jenkins made the runoff for Commissioner of Elections.
