The Federal Election Commission has compiled primary dates for 2020. The chart shows the presidential primary date and also the congressional primary date. The FEC notes that these dates could still change.
Footnote 2, concerning Louisiana congressional elections, says, “In Louisiana, a Congressional primary is not held.” This shows that the FEC agrees with my commentaries about election systems. I have written many times that Louisiana does not hold primaries (except presidential primaries) and if a state wants to dispense with party nominees, then it is free to imitate Louisiana and simply abolish primaries. Supporters of top-two systems should take note of the Louisiana model. Certain supporters of top-two, when they do acknowledge that point, sometimes insist that Louisiana does hold primaries in November; but in reality, Louisiana elects people in November (to Congress), and thus there is no primary.
Thanks to Thomas Jones for the link.

Dates are also on several other websites — trying to keep updated on the machinations.
The useless gerrymander minority rule USA Congress could have a uniform national primary date — to reduce the ROT a bit — BUT has failed since 1888.
The Louisiana Open Congressional Primary will be on November 3, 2020.

As you know, primary means first. That is, it is the first in a series of elections.
All the footnote illustrates is that you and the FEC are both in error.
election – making a choice or choices
may or may not be another election – depending on the results of first election.
