The Senate Concurrent Resolution No. by Senator Edmonds urges the legislative auditor to perform a performance audit of the Louisiana Department of State's election policies, procedures, and practices. This audit aims to ensure the integrity and security of elections in Louisiana by comparing the state's practices with those of other states, which often implement various forms of post-election audits to verify election results. The resolution emphasizes the importance of public confidence in the electoral process and the need for thorough oversight by election officials, including the secretary of state and local registrars.

Additionally, the resolution stipulates that if sensitive data is requested during the audit, the Department of State must employ cryptographic methods to safeguard this information. The performance audit is to be conducted every four years, coinciding with the presidential election cycle, to maintain ongoing scrutiny of the election process. A copy of the resolution will be sent to both the state legislative auditor and the secretary of state to ensure proper communication and action on this matter.
