First Special Session 2016

Title

Chilton Co., sex offenders, adult, certain residential limitations repealed, Sec. 45-11-82 repealed

Description

Under existing law, write-in votes are permitted only in non-municipal general elections, and all write-in votes are counted if the voter properly writes the name on the ballot and registers the vote by a mark in the space designated for that particular office.

This bill would amend the current law to provide that write-in votes for a specific office would be counted at the same time as provisional ballots are counted if the number of write-in votes for that office is greater than or equal to the difference in votes between the two candidates receiving the greatest number of votes for that office.
