Testing and Sealing of Voting Machines

Louisiana has a statewide voting system. AVC Advantage machines are used for election day voting, and AVC Edge machines are used for early voting. All election day machines are tested by certified technicians of the Secretary of State's Office prior to every election in each parish and then the voting machines are sealed for use in the election by the Parish Board of Election Supervisors in each parish. Testing and sealing is open to the public in each voting machine warehouse in each parish.

For information on the testing and sealing of voting machines prior to election day, please contact your parish clerk of court (PDF) and view a list of the voting machine warehouses and their locations (PDF).

For information on the testing and sealing of voting machines prior to early voting, please contact your parish registrar of voters. All early voting machines are tested and sealed prior to every early voting period in each parish Registrar of Voters Office.
