Runoff General Election

This interactive election map shows the districts and candidates for the November 16, 2019 runoff general election in Louisiana with spatial context. Instead of the typical presentation where you fill out a form and receive a form in response, an interactive map shows the location and shape of each of your districts, and unlike a static map, you can zoom in to examine district borders as closely as you like.

Election Incidents, Voter Intimidation

In the event of voter intimidation or other inappropriate stuff, there are several ways to report it as an election incident. Here are some:

Office and Candidate Sequence

Candidates for an office are listed in a small table, and the rows of that table are sorted alphabetically. This generally differs from the order on the ballot. The candidate's party is listed before their name so that alphabetization will cluster candidates by party. Incumbency is not indicated.

Offices on the Parishes+ layer are sorted alphabetically.

Unofficial district shapes

Official shapefiles are not available for state supreme court districts or BESE districts. The districts of those two layers of this map are a best-effort approximation constructed by combining voting tabulation district (voting precinct) shapes from 2017 (the most recent available) after using the LA Secretary of State's sample ballot lookup to identify which precincts pertain to which districts. There were naming mismatches between the SOS precincts and the 2017 precincts whose geometries were used to build these districts. As such, some judgement calls were needed to assign certain precincts to districts.

Colors

The colors mean nothing, generally. White or light gray generally indicates that that shape doesn't contain any election information, but the lighter and darker shades of green and orange are used purely to help visually distinguish neighboring shapes.

The orange and green colors were chosen to avoid partisan implications.

Districts with candidates for the runoff general get their coloration from the color used for that district in the Oct 12th jungle primary map. Those layers are simply reused with the non-participating districts recolored off-white.
