Voting Absentee

Applications for Absentee Ballots and Absentee ballots are now available at City Hall. Updated 7/29/2020

The City of Irondale Elections are August 25th. Considering that many are social distancing due to Covid-19, here’s what you need to do to get an absentee ballot. It is very simple to vote absentee. However there is only a short window of time so you should begin this process as soon as possible.

  • Fill out the Application for Municipal Absentee Ballot. You can get this from the City or Irondale or directly from the Alabama Secretary of State https://www.sos.alabama.gov/sites/default/files/voter-pdfs/absentee/MuniAbsenteeAppFillable.pdf
  • Select the second box “I have a physical illness or infirmity which prevents my attendance at the polls” if you are Covid-19 social distancing and do not feel comfortable going to the polls.
  • Be sure to include a copy of your photo ID.
  • Each application must be placed in a separate envelope. Be sure it is signed by one witness. Review it carefully for accuracy. Hand deliver or mail to Election Official, Irondale City Hall, 101 20th Street South, Irondale, AL 35210.
  • If you mail, then you should receive your ballot in just a few days. If you do not receive your ballot,  make an inquiry ASAP (there’s just not that much time to waste).
  • If you hand deliver, then you could get your absentee ballot immediately.
  • Submitting your actual ballot is a sensitive process and you can find the details here under the subtitle BALLOT PROCEDURE. https://www.sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes/voter/absentee-voting Follow these procedures carefully.
  • You may mail it in. A notary is not required as long as your ballot is witnessed by two witnesses.

Remember that the election is August 25th. The last day to request a ballot is August 20th although anyone wishing to vote absentee should make their Application for Municipal Absentee Ballot as soon as possible. This information has been cleared with the Mayor, the City Clerk, and the City Attorney.
