Eligible voters in four congressional districts have until July 27 to update registrations before polls open for the special primary.

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen is reminding voters that the deadline to register for the August 11 special primary election is Monday, July 27.

“I encourage all eligible Alabamians living in congressional districts 1, 2, 6 or 7 to register to vote or verify their voter registration status on AlabamaVotes.gov ahead of the August 11 special primary election,” Allen said. “I also want to thank Alabama’s dedicated local election officials for their hard work preparing for this election.”

Voters may register electronically through the secretary of state’s website. They may also deliver or mail a paper voter registration form to their local board of registrars.

To be eligible to vote in Alabama, a person must be a U.S. citizen, live in Alabama and be at least 18 years old on or before Election Day. A person must not be barred from voting because of a disqualifying felony conviction or have been declared mentally incompetent by a court.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. Voters must present a valid form of photo identification when voting at a polling place or by absentee ballot.

Cumulative unofficial election results will be posted on the secretary of state’s website at AlabamaVotes.gov.

Voters with questions about registration may call the Elections Division of the secretary of state’s office at 334-242-7210 or contact their local county board of registrars.
