The special election to fill the Louisiana U.S. House seat vacated by Democratic Rep. Cedric Richmond is heading to a runoff after none of the contending Democrats secured enough votes on March 20 for an outright victory.

Democratic state Sens. Troy Carter and Karen Peterson will face off in April; Carter received 36 percent of the vote to Peterson’s 23 percent, according to the Louisiana Department of State.
