Bill > HB59

This bill requires each county in Alabama to establish at least one early voting center during the week before election day, with specific guidelines for operation. An early voting center is defined as a location where registered voters can cast ballots for four to six days prior to election day. The county governing body will have the authority to set up and configure these centers, determining their specific boundaries and days of operation. Early voting centers must be open on weekdays and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Sundays from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Any registered voter in the county may vote at their county's early voting center, and the bill does not change existing election day voting procedures or the responsibilities of election officials. The Secretary of State is tasked with creating rules to implement these early voting provisions, and the law is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, giving counties time to prepare for the new requirement.
