Louisiana does not have any automatic recount in narrow races, but a candidate may request one, but only absentee/mail-in and early votes are recounted, and only if the number of such votes is large enough to change the election outcome, according to state law. A candidate would have three days to request a recount.

With about 60 percent of the vote, Lee Domingue had a decisive victory over Danny Hollier for Scott City Council District 3. There was a fairly high turnout in two of the precincts in this race.
