CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE POLLS ON ELECTION DAY? YOU MAY QUALIFY TO VOTE ABSENTEE.
Greater Birmingham Ministries encourages everyone who can vote at their polling place to do so on November 3, 2026. But if work, travel, college, illness, disability, caregiving responsibilities, or another qualifying circumstance prevents you from voting at your polling place, you may be eligible to vote absentee.
Don't wait until the last minute!
If you qualify, download your county's absentee ballot application from AlabamaVotes.gov. Complete and sign the application, include a copy of your valid photo ID unless an exception applies, and mail it to your county's Absentee Election Manager. https://www.sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes/voter/absentee-voting #:~:text=A%20voter%20may%20cast%20an,a%20felony%20involving%20moral%20turpitude
