Common questions about Louisiana districts
What district am I in?
Enter your address in the search box, or click your location on the map above, and the tool lists every district that contains that exact point — your parish, your Louisiana Senate and House districts, your U.S. House district, your school district, your city, town or village and your ZIP code — along with who represents you where a roster exists.
How do I find out what Louisiana House district I'm in?
Search your address or click your location on the map. The tool shows your Louisiana House district and the Representative who currently holds the seat, rebuilt weekly from the Louisiana House of Representatives' own member pages.
How many Senate and House districts does Louisiana have?
Thirty-nine Senate districts and 105 House districts, and the app draws all of both chambers, as the Legislature drew them in 2022. That is the map the sitting members were elected from in 2023. A 2026 law moves some precincts between three Senate districts in north and central Louisiana from the 2027 election on, and the app will draw those lines once they are the ones in use.
Which congressional map does this use?
The one your current member of Congress was elected from. Louisiana redrew its six congressional districts in 2026, and the members elected from the new map take their seats on 3 January 2027. Until then the app draws the 2024 map the sitting members represent, so the name on the card is the person who represents you today. It moves to the new map when they are sworn in.
What parish am I in, and who runs it?
Pick a point and the tool names your parish — all 64 of them — and every member of its governing body, each with the district or ward they were elected from. That body is a police jury in 38 parishes, a parish council in 25 and a parish commission in Caddo, and every council parish also elects a parish president, a mayor-president or, in Orleans, the Mayor of New Orleans, whom the card names first. The names come from the Secretary of State's list of elected officials, which the app reads weekly. In the parishes where this app has confirmed the current district lines, the Police Jury or Council District layer shows which member represents the point you picked; in the other parishes that layer does not appear, rather than draw lines that may be out of date.
Who are my mayor, my council members and my school board?
Pick a point inside a city, town or village and the tool names its mayor, every member of its council or board of aldermen and its elected chief of police or marshal, and the School District card names every member of your school board. Both come from the Secretary of State's list of elected officials, which the app reads weekly. The map does not draw the wards and districts those members are elected from, so each card lists the whole council or board and says it cannot tell which member represents your spot. New Orleans and Orleans Parish are one government, and Baton Rouge's is East Baton Rouge Parish's, so the Parish card names the mayor and the City Council in New Orleans and the Mayor-President and the Metropolitan Council in Baton Rouge.
Who represents me in Baton Rouge and in Washington?
Pick a location to see your Louisiana Senate district, Louisiana House district and U.S. House district, each with the member who currently holds the seat. Each state legislator's card carries a party, the district office, a link to the member's own page on the chamber's site and the e-mail address the chamber lists. Where a seat is vacant, the card says so instead of naming anyone.
Why does my card show fewer layers than other districtry states?
Because Louisiana is new here. This instance launched with what national publishers can answer for any state on day one — your parish, your U.S. House district, both state chambers, your school district, your city, town or village, your ZIP code and the nearest post office, police station and fire station — plus every parish's police jury, council or commission, every town's mayor and council, every school board, the land of Louisiana's four federally recognized tribes and the councils of the three whose own sites name them. The courts, and the wards and districts that town councils and school boards are elected from, come as each one is sourced and verified. The app would rather answer ten things it can prove than twenty it cannot.
Is this an official government tool?
No. districtry is an independent civic project that reads public data and cites its sources. It never guesses an officeholder: where no verifiable roster exists, the card links the official body instead of naming someone. Confirm anything official with the relevant government office.
Not for legal or official use. These answers describe what the map shows and where it gets it. Boundary and roster data come from public sources that disclaim legal precision — confirm anything official with the relevant government office.
