Louisiana will postpone its U.S. House primaries in order to allow time for lawmakers to redraw and pass a new congressional map, according to an executive order signed by Republican Gov. Jeff Landry on April 30.

Landry announced the suspension one day after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that race could not be a factor when drawing boundaries for electoral districts.
