(AP) — Louisiana lawmakers intend a close watch as the state shops for new voting machines.

The vendor search that comes in the aftermath of a divisive, partisan national uproar about the mechanics of casting ballots and the equipment used in that process.


The solicitation for contractors went out last week.

Lawmakers are planning a joint hearing of the House and Senate elections oversight committees on Feb. 19 to dig into the details of Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin’s effort to replace 10,000 decades-old voting machines.

Louisiana is expected to be the only state in the market for new machines this year, putting a spotlight on its work.
