Poll timesIn Alabama polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time on the date of an election.[1] An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote.[2] According to state law, "[a]ll polling places in areas operating on eastern time shall open and close under this section pursuant to eastern time except the county commissions in Chambers County and Lee County may by resolution provide for any polling place to be excluded from this sentence and to be open according to central time."[1] Registration
Alabama requires that an applicant be a citizen of the United States who resides in Alabama. A voter must be at least 18 years old on or before Election Day. A citizen cannot have been barred from registering due to a felony conviction and cannot have been declared mentally incompetent by a court.[3] Voters cannot register during the 14-day period preceding an election. According to the Alabama Secretary of State's website:[3]
Automatic registrationAlabama does not practice automatic voter registration. Online registration
Alabama has implemented an online voter registration system. Residents can register to vote by visiting this website. Same-day registrationAlabama does not allow same-day voter registration. Residency requirementsTo register to vote in Alabama, you must be a resident of the state. State law does not specify a length of time for which you must have been a resident to be eligible. Verification of citizenshipAn Alabama state law, passed in 2011, calls for people to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote.[5] However, as of August 2019, the law had not been implemented.[6] In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states cannot require proof of citizenship with federal registration forms. That meant states would need to create a separate registration system for state elections in order to require proof of citizenship. Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill (R) said the following: "That’s an election administration nightmare ... You’d have to have two sets of poll books, one for federal elections and one for state elections, and that just doesn’t make any sense to me."[7] Verifying your registrationThe Alabama Secretary of State's Voter View website allows residents to check their voter registration status online. Voter ID requirementsAlabama requires voters to present photo identification at the polls. The following list of accepted forms of identification was current as of July 2024. Click here for the most current information, sourced directly from the Office of the Alabama Secretary of State.
A voter can obtain a free identification card from the Alabama Secretary of State, a county registrar's office, or a mobile location. The mobile location schedule can be accessed here. Voters must also provide a copy of valid photo identification when applying for an absentee ballot, with the exception of 1) voters for whom polling locations are inaccessible due to age or disability, and 2) overseas military members.[8][9] |
