Room Change! SB1 (anti-absentee ballot) has a new room number for tomorrow's public hearing. SB1 will be in room 304 tomorrow, Wednesday at 9:00AM in the State House. Join us in Montgomery tomorrow and Pack the State House!

📌SB1 by Sen Gudger SB1 would charge civic organization employees with a felony simply for assisting voters with absentee ballot applications. This includes distributing or delivering absentee ballot applications, a free document readily available on the Secretary of State’s website.

❗Because SB1 does not define “gift” or “payment”, something as simple as your neighbor baking a cake as a ‘thank you’ for your assistance with their absentee ballot application could get you charged with a Class C felony, and your neighbor could be charged with a Class B felony.

The new larger room has live-stream capabilities, which means if you are unable to attend in person, you can still tap in and watch the public hearing online at https://alison.legislature.state.al.us/live-stream (select room 304)
