MONROE, La. (KNOE) - The 2023 primary elections have passed for Louisiana, and the general elections are coming up soon in November.

Louisiana has what is known as a “jungle primary.” If there is a minimum of three candidates in a race for a certain position, and one of those candidates receives at least 50% + 1 vote in the primary election, then that candidate will be considered the winner and there will be no run-off election for that particular race in November.

To find out which races are heading to the run-off election happening on Nov. 18, check out the list below.
