The quick facts say some parishes have additional general elections for Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and Public Service Commission contests from the spring closed primaries, plus other primaries for state or local offices and local propositions. The candidate-inquiry page did not render an office checklist on October 19, 2026, so those other offices are not named here. The quick facts do not name a governor contest for this date.
