Alabama voters have just days left to prepare for the upcoming special primary election on Tuesday, Aug. 11. Several important absentee voting deadlines are approaching, including the final day to apply in person for an absentee ballot, which was Thursday, Aug. 6.
Absentee Voting Deadlines
Voters who receive an absentee ballot and plan to return it personally have until Monday, Aug. 10 to return and vote that ballot in person. Those returning absentee ballots by mail should be aware that they must be received by noon on Election Day to be counted.
Voters are encouraged to make their plans now instead of waiting until the last minute, including knowing where and how they plan to vote and making sure any necessary absentee voting requirements are completed before the applicable deadlines.
The Aug. 11 special primary gives eligible Alabama voters another opportunity to make their voices heard at the ballot box. With Election Day less than a week away, voters should be aware of the key deadlines: Aug. 6 for in-person application, Aug. 10 for in-person return, and Aug. 11 for Election Day.
