MONTGOMERY — Anyone who hasn’t registered to vote in next month’s General Election has until midnight tonight to take that step.

Today, Oct. 21, is the deadline to register to vote before the Nov. 5 General Election, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen announced.

Electronic voter registration may be completed up until 11:59 p.m. by visiting https://www.alabamainteractive.org/sos/voter_registration/voterRegistrationWelcome.action.

A paper voter registration form may be delivered in person to the local Board of Registrars by the end of business today. Voter registration forms that are being mailed in must be postmarked by today.

To be eligible to vote in Alabama, one must be a citizen of the United States, reside in Alabama, and be 18 years old on or before election day. One must not be barred from voting due to a disqualifying felony conviction or have been judged “mentally incompetent” by a court of law.
