Crossover Voting Prohibited

Since 2018, Alabama state law has banned “crossover voting”. This only prohibits those who voted in one party’s primary election from voting in another party’s run-off election. It does not apply to the general election in November or to non-partisan municipal elections in August. For instance:

If you voted on March 3rd and asked for a Democratic ballot, you cannot vote in any Republican run-off races on March 31st.
If you voted on March 3rd and asked for a Republican ballot, you cannot vote in any Democratic run-off races on March 31st.
If you did not vote on March 3rd, you have the choice to vote on either a Republican or Democratic ballot on March 31st.

If you have addition questions, please contact Sean Magers at sean@valleymls.com or the Madison County probate office at 256-532-3330.
