LWVAL Offsite Voting Study
Six members of the State Study met with Secretary of State Beth Chapman in October. Alabama is one of the first states to allow military and overseas citizens access to registering to vote and to apply for absentee ballots via the Internet. This is being done through the Overseas Vote Foundation* (www.overseasvotefoundation.org/)
The Secretary of State also wants to offer military and overseas citizens the opportunity to vote online. She will be working with the Alabama Legislature in the upcoming session to get that bill passed.
The LWVAL Study Committee will be researching off site voting, absentee voting, and early voting in the coming months.
