1960 Louisiana lieutenant gubernatorial election

The Democratic primary election was held on December 5, 1959, but as no candidate received a majority of the votes cast, a runoff was held in January 1960 between incumbent mayor of Alexandria William George Bowdon Jr. and former Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives Taddy Aycock. Former speaker Taddy Aycock won the runoff but the results of the election are unknown, and was thus elected as the nominee for the general election.^[1]

On election day, April 19, 1960, Democratic nominee Taddy Aycock won the election by a margin of 324,235 votes against his foremost opponent Republican nominee Clark C. Boardman, thereby retaining Democratic control over the office of lieutenant governor. Aycock was sworn in as the 45th lieutenant governor of Louisiana on May 10, 1960.^[2]
