Your Vote, Your Future

ALABAMA ASSOCIATION OF
BOARDS OF REGISTRARS

THE ONLY PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION
FOR ALABAMA'S REGISTRARS

The judicial office of Registrar was created in the 1800's as the guardian for the right to vote - and remains so today. There are at least three Registrars in every one of the 67 counties of our great state. They are involved, active public servants in their communities, dedicated and connected.

​Registrars...

• Manage and safeguard over 3.7 million voter files
• Evaluate requirements to vote for every applicant, to include citizenship, age, and residency
• Determine qualifications for, and issuance of, thousands of Voter Photo Identification Cards used as identification at the polls

Alabama currently has the highest number of people registered to vote in history - 5 million population, 3.7 million registered to vote! This is a 32% average increase in voter registration in the last decade.
​
The foundation of our democracy is grounded in part on the vigilance of Registrars who stand at the front lines to help ensure fair and accurate elections. Alabama Registrars are honored and humbled to be chosen for such vital work on behalf of the people of Alabama.

Registrars in the House on day of passage with Sponsor Rep. Debbie Wood

Governor Ivey signs bill to revise qualifications of Registrars and increase salary.

After months of AABOR negotiation and consultation, Gov. Ivey signed SB48 into law March 4, 2025.  Passage was truly a bi-partisan effort, with Democrats carrying it in the Senate and Republicans carrying it in the House – no one voted against final passage.  Special thanks to Rep. Rex Reynolds, Chairman of the House Raise and Means General Fund, who was instrumental in guiding the process early on and allocating funding resources. The support of Finance and Taxation General Fund Chairman, Sen. Greg Albritton, was also instrumental to the bill’s success.  Sponsor Rep. Debbie Wood spent many hours communicating with lawmakers and addressing their concerns - she “marshaled the troops” in support of the legislation.  Sen. Bobby Singleton carried the bill in the Senate and may have set a record for getting a bill through committee and onto the Senate floor in approximately 24 hours. The following cosponsors in the House were the first to step up without hesitation in support:  Rep. Mark Shirey District 100, Rep. Mack Butler District 28, Rep. Frances Holk-Jones District 95, Rep. Leigh Hulsey District 15; Rep. Barry Moore District 1, Rep. Mike Kirkland District 23, Rep. James Lomax District 20, Rep. Chip Brown District 105, Rep. Ed Oliver District 81, Rep. Randall Shedd District 11.  In the Senate cosponsors were Sen. Merika Coleman District 19, Sen. Linda Coleman-Madison District 20, and Sen. Robert Stewart District 23.  Registrars greatly appreciate all lawmakers who voted for the bill, but we owe a special debt of gratitude to the bill’s sponsors/cosponsors.  This bill’s passage is a landmark achievement and sets a precedent for future legislation on behalf of Registrars and the people of Alabama they serve. ​
