Live Results: Louisiana Presidential Primary

Voters in Louisiana head to the polls Saturday for the state's presidential primary. Although a large number of candidates remain on each ballot, presumptive nominees Joe Biden and Donald Trump are expected to pad their insurmountable delegate leads.

Polls close at 9:00 PM Eastern Time.

Democratic Party

There are 48 pledged delegates. 16 of them will be allocated based on the statewide vote, while 32 of them are associated with the state's 6 congressional districts. The number of delegates in each district ranges from 4 to 8, based on how Democratic the district has voted in recent elections. 

In each case, delegates are allocated proportionately to candidates receiving at least 15% of the vote. Given that threshold, Biden is likely to win all of them.

Note that the congressional delegates are being apportioned based on the current congressional map, not the new one that will be used for the 2024 elections.

Republican Party

47 delegates will be awarded to the statewide popular vote winner. That will almost certainly be Donald Trump.
