While many schools around the state are delaying opening due to severe inclement weather in the forecast Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill has taken to social media to announce that the delays will not impact the polls, even if they are at the schools with delays.

All polling sites in each one of Alabama’s 67 counties are scheduled to be open in the morning at 7 AM and will remain open until 7 PM tomorrow night as scheduled.

There are some polling sites that are currently located in school facilities in certain counties.

Some of these counties have a delayed opening for schools tomorrow.

The delayed opening of certain schools will not affect the polling site in that location.

All polls will open at 7 AM in all jurisdictions tomorrow morning on election day!

Across the state, polls open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m. Here’s what you need to know before you head to the polls.
