Bill > SB24

This bill requires the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles and the Secretary of State to jointly create and post an application on their websites by March 1, 2027, explaining how individuals convicted of crimes can have their voting rights restored, a process governed by Section 15-22-36.1. This application, which will be electronically submitted to the Board of Pardons and Paroles, will serve as a request for a Certificate of Eligibility to Register to Vote. Upon receiving an application, the board will review it and, if eligible, issue the certificate. Furthermore, the Board of Pardons and Paroles must publish the names of individuals whose voting rights have been restored on its website, along with their last registered county or county of residence, and also notify the Secretary of State of this restoration within 10 days. The Secretary of State will then publish this information on their own website. This act will take effect on October 1, 2026.
