A pure quantum state of N subsystems with local dimension d is called a k-uniform state if every reduction to k qudits is maximally mixed. Based on a special class of combinatorial design, namely irredundant orthogonal arrays, we show the existence of 2-uniform N-qudit states when N >= 4 and d is a prime power other than 2. In addition, given any Hadamard matrix of order greater than 4, we demonstrate how it can be used to construct 3-uniform multiqubit states. In fact, we find that there exists some 3-uniform N-qubit when N >= 8 except case N = 9. These give an answer to a question posed by Goyeneche et al. [Phys. Rev. A 90, 022316 (2014)]. Furthermore, starting from a minimal support k-uniform state, we show how to generate an orthogonal basis consisting of k-uniform states. At last, we derive a series of (k - 1)-uniform (N - 1)-qudit states from a single k-uniform N-qudit state. The k-uniform states are good candidates among the multipartite entangled states.
