Louisiana's 24th State Senate district is one of 39 districts in the Louisiana State Senate. It has been represented by Democrat Gerald Boudreaux since 2016, succeeding Democrat-turned-Republican Elbert Guillory.[3]
District 24 stretches across several majority-black sections of Lafayette, St. Landry, and St. Martin Parishes in Acadiana, including northern Lafayette and some or all of Carencro, Scott, Sunset, Opelousas, Eunice, and Port Barre.[2]
The district overlaps with Louisiana's 3rd, 4th, and 5th congressional districts, and with the 38th, 39th, 40th, 41st, 44th, 46th, and 96th districts of the Louisiana House of Representatives.[4]
Louisiana uses a jungle primary system. If no candidate receives 50% in the first round of voting, when all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party, the top-two finishers advance to a runoff election.
