Navigating Domicile Requirements in Candidate Qualification Disputes

One of the most common issues in Louisiana election law is determining a candidate's proper domicile. To qualify for many offices, candidates must be domiciled in the district they seek to represent for a specified period before qualifying. This seemingly straightforward requirement can become quite complex in practice.

Our attorneys have  litigated domicile disputes, helping to clarify the law around what constitutes a candidate's true domicile. We understand the nuances of how courts evaluate domicile, considering factors like:

• Where the candidate sleeps, eats, and keeps personal belongings
• Utility bills and usage patterns
• Voter registration and voting history
• Vehicle registration and driver's license information
• Homestead exemption claims
• Business and financial records

We work closely with our clients to gather and present compelling evidence of domicile that can withstand legal challenges.

Rapid Response for Time-Sensitive Matters

Election law disputes often unfold on extremely tight timelines, with mere days between filing deadlines and critical hearings. Our experienced team is prepared to spring into action at a moment's notice, quickly investigating facts, researching applicable law, and crafting persuasive legal arguments to protect our clients' interests.

We have a proven track record of working hard in election matters at the trial and appellate levels. Whether you are a candidate facing disqualification, a candidate seeking to disqualify an opponent on the grounds that he or she is not domiciled where claimed, or a concerned citizen seeking to ensure election integrity, we stand ready to vigorously advocate for your rights.
