This Election Day could be a record breaker, as voters across Alabama stood for hours in socially distanced lines to cast ballots.
That’s on top of the thousands of absentee ballots submitted in advance during the last 6 weeks.
Who came out on top? We could be in for a lonnnnnng night. Here are the results from today’s races in the Birmingham metro area and at the state level.
Update: Voter turnout for Alabama was 60.31 percent; for Shelby County, 69.56 percent; for Jefferson County, 54.90 percent.

Absentee voting
Because of COVID-19, the State of Alabama will allow any registered voter to vote early by absentee ballot. I voted in person on Wednesday in under 30 minutes.
Download, print and fill out an absentee ballot application. These forms are also available at courthouses in every county. Applications must be submitted by Oct. 29.
The Secretary of State says to check the following box as the reason for the absentee ballot: “I have a physical illness or infirmity which prevents my attendance at the polls. [ID Required]”

Today was my Election Day. I filled out an absentee ballot form, went to the Jefferson Co. Courthouse this morning and voted in about 20 minutes. The staff couldn't have been nicer and walked me through each step.
If you want to vote early, now's your chance, #Bham. #alpolitics pic.twitter.com/UfF4YGPJPr
