1984 United States presidential election in Louisiana

The 1984 United States presidential election in Louisiana took place on November 6, 1984. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1984 United States presidential election. State voters chose ten electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president of the United States. Louisiana was won by incumbent United States President Ronald Reagan of California, who was running against former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota. Reagan ran for a second time with former C.I.A. Director George H. W. Bush of Texas, and Mondale ran with Representative Geraldine Ferraro of New York, the first major female candidate for the vice presidency.

Campaign
Governor Edwin Edwards told voters to boycott the primaries. This resulted in black voters making up a large amount of the Democratic primary electorate and a Jesse Jackson victory.

As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last time that St. John the Baptist Parish voted for a Republican candidate.

76% of white voters supported Reagan while 23% supported Mondale.
