How do I vote in Alabama: how do I find my polling place?

November 4 is Election Day when voters decide the next American president.

Alabama polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Go to the Secretary of State’s website to find your voting information.

Go here and enter your first and last name and date of birth. Press “enter” and you will be directed to the name and number of your polling station, address and a map. The same page contains a drop-down menu showing your districts for all city, county, state and national races.
