of general circulation in the county prior to each

regular primary election. Additionally, a list of

the registered voters to be removed from the voters

list is required to be published when statewide

voter file maintenance is conducted. Also under

website maintained by the county, on the website of

the Association of County Commissions of Alabama.</p><p class="bill_description">This bill would also require that this information

would be available for review upon request at a

reasonable cost and that the county place a display

advertisement at least one-half page in size in

some newspaper of general circulation in the county

providing information about where the lists and

notices are available.</p><p class="bill_description">This bill would limit payment to one list

per election.</p>
