Louisiana Sample Ballot 2026: How to See Yours, the U.S. Senate Race and All 10 Amendments on Nov. 3

Louisiana voters can see their exact Nov. 3, 2026 ballot by name or address in the Louisiana Voter Portal or the GeauxVote app. The statewide ballot has the U.S. Senate general election, open primaries for all six U.S. House seats and 10 proposed constitutional amendments. Parish and local races vary by precinct.

How to find your Louisiana sample ballot

1. Go to the Louisiana Voter Portal at voterportal.sos.la.gov, or open the free GeauxVote app.
2. Choose “Search by Voter” and enter your name and address details, or search by precinct if you know your ward and precinct.
3. Open “Sample Ballot.” It lists every race and amendment for your precinct.
4. Mark your choices and print them. The Secretary of State says the marked sample ballot is for preparation only and is not an official ballot.

The portal can also search by candidate or amendment. Ballots appear about three weeks before an election, once qualifying closes. Not in Louisiana? Our sample ballot lookup for every state lists each official tool.
