Election Day is here and the State of Alabama wants to make sure that residents understand the process of obtaining and checking their general election sample ballots.

“Sample ballots for all 67 counties have been made publicly available on our website,” said Allen. “I would encourage all Alabamians to review these sample ballots as they get ready to head to the polls on November 5.”

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters are required to present a valid form of photo identification when voting at their polling place or by absentee ballot. For information on photo IDs, click here.

Sample ballots for the General Election are available here: https://www.sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes/2024-general-election-sample-ballots.

For voting issues, call the Elections Division of the Alabama Secretary of State’s office at 334-242-7210 or a local county Board of Registrars. For a list of the county Board of Registrars, click here.

To be eligible to vote in Alabama, one must be a citizen of the United States, reside in Alabama and be 18 years old on or before election day. One must not be barred from voting due to a disqualifying felony conviction or have been judged “mentally incompetent” by a court of law.
