In Louisiana, a state legislative special election is required to be held if there are at least six months remaining in the unexpired term upon a vacancy. The presiding officer of the chamber in which the vacancy occurred must call an election within ten days of the vacancy. [1]
Like all state legislative elections in Louisiana, special state legislative elections are held using a majority-vote, two-round system. All candidates, regardless of party, run on the same ballot on the first round, also known as a jungle primary. If a candidate wins a majority of the vote, they are elected outright. If no candidate reaches a majority in the first round, a second round, or a runoff election, is held between the two candidates with the most votes. The candidate with the most votes in the second round is elected and will serve the remainder of the unexpired term.
The election was made necessary by the resignation of representative Larry Selders, who gave up the seat after winning a special election to the Louisiana Senate. Selders had served in the seat since 2019. [2]

(31%) A majority of the district is Black, numbering 61%, or 13,066, of registered voters. [3]
