The Alabama Board of Registrars’ Offices are required to be available to the people of Alabama who attend Alabama’s numerous two and four-year universities.
While many have already completed these trips once this year, at the direction of Secretary Merrill through his elections director and supervisor of voter registration, registrars have been instructed to return to conduct drives for any students not yet registered to vote or in need of updating their voting information.
Registrars have been asked to return to all schools of higher learning (two-year, four-year, technical schools, trade schools, liberal arts schools, private schools, etc.) in their county no later than Oct. 22.
These efforts are a part of Secretary Merrill’s ongoing efforts to ensure each and every eligible U.S. citizen that is a resident of Alabama is a registered voter with a photo ID.
