Sample ballots are now available for the upcoming Nov. 5 general election in Marengo County. 

The ballots are available electronically at the Alabama Secretary of State’s website: www.AlabamaVotes.gov.

“Sample ballots for all 67 counties have been made publicly available on our website, www.AlabamaVotes.gov. I would encourage all Alabamians to review these sample ballots as they get ready to head to the polls on Nov. 5.” Secretary of State Wes Allen said.

Voter registration is also available on the website.

“At www.AlabamaVotes.gov, Alabamians can register to vote with a valid Alabama driver license, verify their voter registration status, check their polling location, and track their absentee ballot,” Allen said. “My team and I work very hard to ensure that our website is a functional tool for all Alabamians to utilize as they prepare to go vote on November 5.”

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. Voters are required to present a valid form of photo identification before casting a ballot.

Allen extends his thanks to the county election officials for their work preparing and approving these sample ballots.

“As a former probate judge, I know firsthand how much preparation goes into running a fair, secure, and transparent election. I want to thank the county probate judges and election officials for working hard to create and review sample ballots for their counties, so that Alabama voters can be informed and prepared for Election Day,” Allen said.
