The Louisiana Legislature adjourned its regular session on June 1 after passing 20 election-related bills, one resolution, and one proposed constitutional amendment. Gov. Jeff Landry (R) signed all 20 bills in May and June.
Among those bills was SB 121, which redraws the state’s congressional map after the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais.
That decision, issued on April 29, 2026, upheld a lower court order striking down Louisiana's congressional map as an unconstitutional gerrymander. The state legislature had redrawn the maps in 2024 to comply with a court order finding that the previous set of congressional districts enacted in 2022 violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
