The2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Louisiana were held on November 5, 2024, to elect the sixU.S. representatives from thestate ofLouisiana, one from each of the state'scongressional districts. The elections coincided with theU.S. presidential election, as well asother elections to the House of Representatives,elections to theUnited States Senate, and variousstate and local elections.

During the2020 redistricting cycle, Louisiana's congressional map faced legal challenges for alleged violations of theVoting Rights Act of 1965. Roughly one-third of Louisiana's population is African American, but only one of Louisiana's six districts was drawn with a Black majority. Legislators overrode GovernorJohn Bel Edwards' veto to enact the districts. TheNAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund sued the state on behalf of Black Louisianan voters. InRobinson v. Ardoin, aU.S. District Judge found that the maps were illegally racially gerrymandered, first ordering the legislature to reconvene to redraw compliant maps, then suggesting that she would enforce court-ordered maps following legislators' "disingenuous" and "insincere" attempts to do so on their own.^[1][2]

The State appealed the case to theFifth Circuit Court of Appeals to attempt to keep the discriminatory map in place. The Fifth Circuit first placed a stay on the court-ordered redrawing process pending review, then reversed its decision.^[3][4] The State then appealed to theSupreme Court of the United States, which granted the state's application, stayed the district court's injunction, and allowed the2022 elections to take place with the discriminatory district map in effect. The Court indicated that it would first review a similar case concerning racial gerrymandering in Alabama,Allen v. Milligan, before dealing withRobinson v. Ardoin.

The Court was widely expected to side with both Alabama and Louisiana, weakening the anti-discrimination protections of the Voting Rights Act. However, the Court upheld a lower court decision inAllen v. Milligan that Alabama's maps were in fact racially gerrymandered, suggesting that it may also decide against Louisiana. On June 26, 2023, the Court decided not to intervene inRobinson v. Ardoin, rescinding its stay and allowing the case to continue in the Fifth Circuit. On November 10, 2023, a decision made by the 5th circuit panel gave the Louisiana state legislature until January 15, 2024, to redraw its congressional maps, with a second majority Black district, in advance of the 2024 election cycle.^[5][6][7] Because newly elected Governor Jeff Landry was not sworn in until January 8, and a special session of the assembly could not have been convened until at least seven days after the governor calls for one, the Court extended the deadline for the legislature to approve new maps to January 30.^[8]
