Alabama's New Voter Roll Maintenance Process To Begin In 2025 - Birmingham, AL - New procedures will be used by the Secretary of State and boards of registrars to update the statewide voter registration database.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has signed legislation to ban curbside voting in the state.
Ivey’s office announced Wednesday that she had signed the bill by Republican Rep. Wes Allen of Troy.
It would forbid election workers from setting up curbside areas for people to vote as well as forbid the setting up of voting machines outside a polling place.
The action codifies the view held by Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill who argued in a court case last year that existing state law did not allow curbside voting.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey Signs Law Banning Curbside Voting
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed two laws on Wednesday for a “free, fair, and highly ethical” election process; one for revising the process of updating voter addresses and another to ban curbside voting.
“Our freedom of speech is rooted in our ability to vote, and a strong election process is what sets our democracy apart from every other country in the world,” Ivey said in a statement. “I appreciate the bipartisan efforts of Rep. Allen and Rep. Scott to ensure Alabama’s election process remains free, fair, and highly ethical.”
Both laws take effect immediately.
