Alabama will hold primary elections today, March 5. Have you made a plan to vote? Alabama Arise has information below about how to vote in person. |
Here’s what you need to know for Election Day: -
Check your registration and find your polling place here.
- Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you’re a registered voter in line by 7 p.m., stay in line! You’ll be allowed to vote.
- A valid photo ID is required to vote.
- Alabamians can vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary, but not both.
-
State law forbids "crossover voting" in runoff elections. If a runoff election is necessary in April, people who vote in the Democratic primary will be able to vote only in a Democratic runoff, and people who vote in the Republican primary will be able to vote only in a Republican runoff. (Voters who participate in neither party's primary can choose to vote in either party's runoff.)
-
The crossover voting rule does not apply to the general election in November. Voters may vote for whomever they wish in the general election, regardless of which primary they choose.
- Voters' party choice for this year's primary election does not bind them for primaries in future years.
-
You can find more information and resources on the Alabama Secretary of State’s website.
