As we approach the July 14th Primary Runoff Election, Secretary of State John H. Merrill would like to remind citizen that as of next Tuesday, June 9, 2020, there will be 30 days left to apply for an absentee ballot.
It is important that Alabama voters are aware of their option to cast an absentee ballot for the Runoff Election, amid the COVID-19 outbreak in our state. Additionally, the Alabama Secretary of State’s office has provided guidance and continues to work with county governments to ensure the polling places in all 67 counties are safe and sanitary for any voter who wishes to vote in-person on Election Day.
Through funding provided by the CARES Act, Secretary Merrill is working with local election officials to see that polling places are equipped with sanitation supplies, personal protective equipment, and other essential items to protect voters, poll workers, and anyone else associated with the elections process.
