since you last voted…

Since 2020, it’s become harder to cast your ballot in Alabama. Here are the changes you need to pay attention to:

When making a plan to vote…

  • In 2020, due to COVID-19, you were automatically eligible to cast your ballot by mail. However, in 2022, you must check if you qualify to vote absentee and make a voting plan accordingly.
  • If you qualify, you must now request to vote by mail (if returning the application by mail) ten days before Election Day or (if returning by hand) five days before Election Day. 

When casting your vote…

  • Curbside voting is no longer allowed.

Moving forward…

  • In 2022, Alabamans will vote on an initiative that would ban changes to election laws within six months of an election. This could affect access to the ballot in scenarios like pandemics or natural disasters.
