Louisiana's 12th State Senate district is one of 39 districts in the Louisiana State Senate. It has been represented by Republican Beth Mizell since 2016.[3]
District 12 covers all of Washington Parish and the northernmost parts of St. Tammany and Tangipahoa Parishes, including some or all of Bogalusa, Franklinton, Kentwood, Amite, and Hammond.[2]
The district overlaps with Louisiana's 1st and 5th congressional districts, and with the 72nd, 74th, 75th, 77th, and 86th 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.
