Louisiana climbs to 2nd place in the nation for election integrity

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Louisiana has climbed to second place in the nation for election integrity, according to the Heritage Foundation’s latest rankings.

The state moved up from ninth place, Secretary of State Nancy Landry announced Monday. Scores are calculated from 12 categories, including ID use, absentee ballot management and vote counting practices.

“This latest ranking proves once again that Louisiana’s elections are safe and secure,” Landry said. “I am proud of the hard work that our elections team does day in and day out to ensure the integrity of our elections. While this news is cause for celebration, there is still much work to be done. I won’t be satisfied until Louisiana is number one in the nation, and I am confident that will happen when we transition to a new, fully-auditable voting system.”

A search has started for a new voting system. Landry previously told Louisiana First News that one of the problems with the existing decades-old system is finding machine parts for repairs. She said pilot testing could be conducted in smaller parishes starting in 2026.
