flag Louisiana to switch to closed primaries in 2026, sparking debate over voter access and polarization.

flag Starting in 2026, Louisiana will adopt closed primaries for certain state races, restricting voters to their registered party’s ballot. flag Lt. Gov. flag Billy Nungesser opposes the change, arguing the current open system reduces polarization and encourages moderate candidates. flag He warns closed primaries could exclude unaffiliated and minor-party voters, undermining participation. flag A forthcoming poll suggests most Louisianans support keeping open primaries. flag The shift, pushed by Gov. flag Jeff Landry, was limited to select offices, and the state awaits a U.S. Supreme Court decision on its congressional map, which may affect future election rules.
