Congressional redistric Ɵ ng maps passed in the fi rst special session of Gov. Je ff Landry’s term will be used for the 2024 Congressional elec Ɵ ons. Under the gun to meet prin Ɵ ng deadlines and with a request from Gov. Landry to create a second majority-minority district, the Louisiana Legislature passed SB8 which became ACT2. The US Supreme Court has

This is the 3rd set of maps to be used in three consecu Ɵ ve Congressional elec Ɵ ons.
