Am I eligible to register to vote?

General Requirements

You are eligible to vote in Alabama if you:

Are a U.S citizen
Are a resident of Alabama
Are at least 18 years old by Election Day

You are NOT eligible to vote in Alabama if:

You have been legally declared "mentally incompetent" by a court
You have been convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude

Restorative Requirements

You are a convicted felon involving moral turpitude, unless your voting rights have been restored.
If you have been convicted of a felony NOT involving moral turpitude, your voting rights are not affected.

For Military Service Members

Service members and their dependents may register and request a ballot using the federal voter registration/ballot request form ("FPCA"). You will have the following identification options when completing the form:

U.S. State or Territory or District Issued ID
Option to Indicate that you do not have the Requested ID
Last 4 Digits of your Social Security Number

Voting Overseas

U.S. citizens living abroad have the right to vote as absentee voters, provided they are eligible to vote in their state. If you are living outside of the U.S. permanently, indefinitely, or temporarily, your voting rights stay with you, even if you never voted when you lived in the U.S. To vote from overseas:

Complete and send an overseas voter registration/ballot request form to your election office in the U.S. This is one specific form that will register you as an overseas voter and request your absentee ballot – simultaneously.

Can I vote if I have a record?

You probably can. Find out!

Individuals who have been convicted of a felony lose their right to vote until they have completed their whole sentence, including probation and parole, and have paid all fines, court costs and restitution (if any). After this, individuals are eligible to apply to the Board of Pardons and Paroles to have their voting rights restored, unless they were convicted for certain crimes of “moral turpitude” –such as murder, rape, incest, sexual crimes against children, and treason– which render individuals permanently ineligible to vote in Alabama. Contact the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles at 334-242-8700 for more information.

I am a college student. Where do I register to vote?

My school's address or my parent's address?

Alabama law states that you may register to vote in Alabama if you are “domiciled” in the state. Domicile is defined in Alabama as physically living at a particular place with the intent to remain there permanently, or for an indefinite length of time. Students who leave home to attend school are expressly allowed to register to vote using their home address. Registering to vote in Alabama creates a presumption of Alabama domicile, and the Secretary of State’s office has indicated that that should be enough to establish voting residency.
