Louisiana’s presidential primary scheduled for Saturday, April 4 will be delayed by two months due to the coronavirus outbreak in the Bayou State, election officials there said Friday.

Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin announced the state’s primary will be held instead on June 20.

The news was first reported by the major paper in Louisiana’s state capital, The Advocate.

Louisiana’s postponement will likely raise questions about New York’s presidential primary, which is scheduled to be held on April 28.

There’s already a push to delay the first major election in New York City to take place since the COVID-19 outbreak — the special election for Queens borough president.
