Wes Allen, Alabama’s secretary of state, reminds Alabama voters that county absentee election managers must receive mail-in absentee ballot applications by Tuesday, May 12. The deadline to return an absentee ballot application in person is Thursday, May 14.
Absentee ballots being returned in-person must be received by the county absentee election manager by close of business on the day before the election, May 18. Absentee ballots returned by mail must be received no later than noon on Election Day, May 19.
It is recommended to mail in your absentee ballot application and absentee ballots at least two weeks before the deadline for county absentee election managers to receive them.
Voters are required to present a valid form of photo identification before voting at their polling place or by absentee ballot.
