Louisiana plans to postpone U.S. House primaries in order to allow time for lawmakers to redraw and pass a new congressional map.

Gov. Jeff Landry (R-La.) announced the suspension on April 30, just a day after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that race could not be a factor when drawing boundaries for electoral districts.
