Secretary of State Wes Allen, with the assistance of the Elections Division, hosted eight multi-day training sessions for Alabama’s Boards of Registrars. These training sessions, which concluded Wednesday, were designed and conducted by Allen and his team.
“I believe these hands-on training sessions are critical to prepare for the 2026 election cycle. They featured interactive computer training in a lab setting from Alabama’s statewide voter registration and election management team where Registrars honed their skills and proficiencies,” Allen explained.
Alabama’s Boards of Registrars are solely responsible for the registration and removal of registered voters in each county. They conduct regular voter file maintenance in accordance with state and federal law and directives from the Secretary of State.
“The work of Alabama’s Boards of Registrars is essential to the administration of fair, secure, and transparent elections. Thank you to each and every Registrar for your attendance at this summer’s trainings and for your dedicated service to your county and the State of Alabama,” Allen said.
Allen thanked his Elections Division team, including Director of Elections Jeff Elrod and Supervisor of Voter Registration Candace Payne, for their hard work preparing and conducting these trainings.
