As we approach the July 14 Primary Runoff Election, Secretary of State John H. Merrill would like to remind your readers that as of next Tuesday, June 9, there will be 30 days left to apply for an absentee ballot. It is important that Alabama voters are aware of their option to cast an absentee ballot for the Runoff Election amid the COVID-19 outbreak in our state. Additionally, our office has provided guidance and continues to work with our county governments to ensure the polling places in all 67 counties are safe and sanitary for any voter who wishes to vote in-person on Election Day.

Through funding provided by the CARES Act, Secretary Merrill is working with local election officials to see that polling places are equipped with sanitation supplies, personal protective equipment, and other essential items to protect voters, poll workers, and anyone else associated with the elections process.

If you are interested in speaking with the Secretary on the upcoming election, or his measures to protect the 2020 Election Cycle, please let me know. He is available to speak via phone, Zoom, Skype, WebEx, etc.
