SUMMARY: With just five days until the election, Alabama anticipates record voter turnout, particularly in Jefferson County, which has over half a million registered voters. Officials expect over 300,000 to participate, leading to potential traffic congestion at polling places. They are preparing for this influx with training for poll workers and coordination with local law enforcement to ensure security, although no issues are anticipated. Voters are encouraged to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity. Alabama lacks early voting but allows in-person absentee voting at county courthouses before election day. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Law enforcement officials tell voters to stay vigilant and report anything suspicious at polling places.

SUMMARY: As Jefferson County prepares for the upcoming general election, Chief Election Official Judge Jim Naftel outlines essential voting rules. Voters can bring their phones but cannot take photos or livestream inside the polling precinct. They may share images of themselves voting but not of their ballots or any election equipment. A photo ID, such as a driver’s license or military ID, is required to vote. Support for candidates can be shown through clothing. Voters carrying firearms should verify local rules, especially in restricted areas like schools. Following these guidelines will ensure a smooth voting experience.
