The 2019 Louisiana State Senate election was held on October 12, 2019, with runoff elections held on November 16, 2019. All 39 seats in the Louisiana State Senate were up for election to four-year terms. Under the Louisiana primary system, all candidates appeared on the same ballot, regardless of party. Five districts held runoff elections due to no candidate receiving a majority of the vote in the general election.[1]
The Republican Party expanded their majority by two seats over the Democratic Party, establishing a veto-proof majority in the Senate against Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards. The party failed to gain a veto-proof majority in the concurrent House elections, however.
