WINSTON COUNTY - Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen wants to remind Alabama citizens that the deadline to register to vote before the November 5, general election is Monday, October 21.
“The right of eligible United States citizens to cast a ballot in a fair and secure election is one of the hallmarks of our constitutional republic,” Allen said. “I encourage all eligible Alabama citizens to register to vote and make plans to head to the polls on November 5.”
Electronic voter registration may be completed by visiting https://www.sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes/voter/register-to-vote. A paper voter registration form may be delivered in person or by mail to the Board of Registrars in the county where applicants live.
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.
