The 2024 Louisiana presidential primary election took place on Saturday, March 23, 2024.

       Polls in the state opened at 7 a.m. and closed at 8 p.m. CDT, 9 p.m. EDT.

       President Joe Biden collected the 48 delegates up for grabs for Democrats, and former President Donald Trump collected the 47 delegates for Republicans.

       There was little doubt about who would win the presidential balloting since Biden and Trump have secured their party's nominations.
