Alabama's Ballots Get a Security Boost!

Get ready, ChumCity! Alabama's stepping up its election game in a BIG way! Secretary of State Wes Allen just announced some seriously cool security enhancements coming to our ballots starting next year.

Invisible Emblems: The Future of Ballot Security?

Forget watermarks – we're talking INVISIBLE security emblems! Alabama is the FIRST state in the whole country to partner with its ballot printer to implement these secret emblems. You can't see them with your naked eye; only specialized equipment (provided to county election officials) can detect them. Talk about next-level security!

Leveling Up Election Protection

"This emblem system is taking our state's election security to heights we've never seen before," Allen exclaimed. He mentioned his team has been working tirelessly since day one to bring this kind of protection to Alabama's elections.

2025 Rollout!

Mark your calendars! These enhanced ballots will be used in the 2025 primary and primary runoff absentee elections. And guess what? By the time the 2025 General Election rolls around, all Alabama ballots will feature these super-secure emblems. Plus, the design and placement of the emblems will change with each election cycle, keeping things extra secure.

Protecting Our Elections

Allen emphasized, "Protecting Alabama’s elections is paramount!" He's clearly pumped about leading the nation in election security. Way to go, Alabama!
