Louisiana Senate President Joel Chaisson issued a proclamation calling a special election to fill the District 16 seat vacated by former Senator Bill Cassidy, who was recently elected to represent the 6th Congressional District. The primary election is set for Saturday, March 7, 2009, with the date for the general election scheduled for Saturday, April 4, 2009. Qualifying for the District 16 seat begins at 8 a.m. Wednesday, January 14, 2009 and ends at 5 p.m. Friday, January 16, 2009.
