Registering to vote

Alabama residents have several options of registering to vote including online registration.

The state can also mail you a voter registration form if you live within the state.

Another option is printing off a PDF form of the voter registration form, filling it out and mailing it to your local board of registrars.

If you are registered to vote but aren’t sure where to go to vote, the Alabama State Marshal’s Office has a resource available to help you figure out where to go.
