Who can vote absentee in Alabama?:

The Alabama Secretary of State, John Merrill, has issued an emergency rule that provides that a person who is concerned about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may select “I have a physical illness or infirmity which prevents my attendance at the polls.” as his or her reason for voting absentee.  Note that ID is required to do so.

 

In-Person Absentee Voting

In-Person Absentee voting refers to a person who visits the probate office of your local county courthouse and completes the entire process of applying for, obtaining and voting their absentee ballot during that visit.

In-Person Absentee Voting Deadline: By law, Thursday, October 29, 2020, is the last day that a person may apply for an absentee ballot for the 2020 General Election.  This means that October 29 is also the last day that a person may vote “In Person Absentee.”

**Absentee ballots are not processed until the polls close at 7:00 pm on November 3, 2020.
