BATON ROUGE, La. (KNOE) - Secretary of State Nancy Landry announced Louisiana is the first state to use a new voter maintenance database from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The database combines information about a person’s immigration status and death records in an attempt to keep the Louisiana voter rolls accurate.
Sec. Landry visited Washington, D.C., where she met with White House staff, DOGE, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and the Social Security Administration to offer feedback on the new voter maintenance database.
“Since taking office, I have repeatedly requested this critical data from the federal government to check Louisiana’s voter registration list,” Sec. Landry said.
Sec. Landry’s office did not say when use of the database would take effect.
