Secretary of State Wes Allen wants to remind Alabama voters that county absentee election managers must receive mail-in absentee ballot applications by Tuesday, October 29, 2024. The deadline to return an absentee ballot application in person is Thursday, October 31, 2024. Absentee ballots being returned in-person must be received by the county absentee election manager by close of business on the day before the election- November 4, 2024. Absentee ballots returned by mail must be received no later than noon on Election Day- November 5, 2024. “Absentee voting is a vital component of the election process. That is why I advocated for legislation like SB1, which provides Alabama voters with strong protection against activists who profit from the absentee elections process,” said Secretary Allen. It is recommended to mail in your absentee ballot application and absentee ballots at least two weeks before the deadline for county Absentee Election Managers to receive them. Voters are required to present a valid form of photo identification before voting at their polling place or by absentee ballot.
