The State of Louisiana could soon get new voting machines. The Office of State Procurement issued a Request For Proposals to secure new voting equipment to replace the state’s current stock of 10,000 machines.
The state released a statement saying in part:
We cannot maintain the status quo, as the lifespan of these machines nears the end. It is financially and operationally prudent to procure new voting equipment so that voters continue to have confidence in their election infrastructure.
“I am excited to begin the RFP process,” Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin said. “While the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the release of this RFP, we are excited to begin the process of bringing the best voting technology to Louisiana and continuing our tradition of delivering safe, secure, accurate, and transparent elections.”
