Alabama has no early voting, unlike almost every state in America.

AL.com asked voters their opinions on Nov. 5 and Alabamians weighed in online about whether the state should give voters the early option.

AL.com’s Facebook post received 803 comments as of 4:30 p.m. on election day, mostly in support of adopting early voting.

“Alabama needs to move into the modern world! Early voting allows all segments of the population to cast their ballots. Providing a certain amount of time off during the work day doesn’t cut it for large numbers of people who may work outside of the community in which they reside,” said one commenter.

“Moved from AL to NC a few years ago. Early voting is fantastic. We are older and it allows us to avoid long waits or bad weather,” said another.

“It would be wonderful if this state made it easier to vote.”

“Only if it is in person and requires ID.”

“Absolutely. I would have voted weeks ago.”

“No. Election day should be a holiday, and we should all vote in one day on paper ballots.”

“Yes. Stop saying absentee is the same thing. It’s not. Some people lead lives complicated by illness or other personal or family difficulties and therefore need more options to get to the polls.”

There were some long lines in the Birmingham area on Tuesday.

A polling station in St. Clair County is keeping the doors open until 9 p.m. tonight because ballots were sent without Amendment questions on them.
