Voters who want to participate in the Nov. 8 general election must register by the end of the day Monday.

State law sets the deadline to register at 15 days before the election, which is Oct. 24.

Voters can register online on the secretary of state’s website Alabama Votes. All online registrations must be submitted by 11:59 p.m., on Oct. 24, according to the secretary of state’s office.

To register by mail or in person, voters have until Oct. 24 to postmark their voter registration applications or until the close of business on that same date to return their physical registration applications to their local board of registrars’ office.
