Alabama’s state motto is “Audemus jura nostra defendere,” or, to use the official state language, “We dare defend our rights.”
One of those hard-fought rights is the right to vote.
Many Alabamians risk losing the chance to exercise that right in the Nov. 6 general election. For those who have not registered to vote, time is running out.
Monday, Oct. 22 is the deadline to register to vote on Election Day. Alabamians can register in person by the close of business at their county Board of Registrars office (typically 5 p.m.), online by 11:59 p.m. that day, or through the mail if their registration is postmarked by Oct. 22, according to the secretary of state’s office.
To register online, visit Alabama Online Voter Registration at the Alabama secretary of state’s website. You can also print the application and mail it to your county Board of Registrars.
