Four statewide amendments, one local measure on ballot

What is on the ballot

The General Election ballot will include five amendments: four statewide measures and one local measure. Statewide amendments are considered by voters across Alabama, while a local amendment applies only to the area identified on the ballot.

The report identifies the number and reach of the measures but does not connect a candidate contest to this ballot item.

Statewide and local votes

The four statewide amendments will be presented for consideration across the state. The fifth measure is local, so its vote will be limited to the voters covered by that amendment.

That distinction matters at the polls: voters may see the statewide measures along with the local amendment only if they are in the area where the local measure applies. The ballot will identify the measures for voters in the General Election.

What voters should check

Voters should review the ballot wording for each amendment and confirm which local measure, if any, appears on their ballot. The five amendments are separate ballot questions, with four statewide and one local.

No candidate race is tied to this ballot item. The development concerns the amendment portion of the General Election ballot.
