Statement on Suspicious Substance Found at Secretary of State’s Office An Elections Division employee opened a package this afternoon around 12:20 p.m. at the Louisiana Secretary of State’s Office off Essen Lane in Baton Rouge and found a white powder. We do not know what the substance is at this time, and there are no injuries at this time. Out of an abundance of caution, we have evacuated the Elections section and turned off the building's air conditioning. Law enforcement has been called and is responding to the incident.
