Alabamians will have a shot at shaping the presidential race for 2016.
With an early SEC Primary on March 1, Alabama will be among 14 states and territories holding elections on Super Tuesday. Also on the ballot, a Senate race, several state and county races and an state amendment.
Citizens still have time to register to vote, either online (for the first time) or by handing in this PDF form. The deadline is 11:59 p.m. Monday for online submission or end of business Monday at the county Board of Registrar offices for hand-delivered forms.
To help you see the full candidate list for your district, we’ve included sample ballots for Jefferson and Shelby Counties for the primaries. (The Jefferson County ballots, 32Â pages and 46 pages, include versions for every district.)
Also included is the Alabama Voter Guide, which has information on voting procedures and frequently asked questions.
For easier viewing, you can download or zoom to full screen with each ballot.
Primary elections take place March 1Â across the state.
