Alabama

Like Mississippi, Alabama enacted changes to its photo ID law in 2011, but enactment was held up by the federal government’s preclearance requirement. As soon as that requirement was nullified by the US Supreme Court, new photo ID requirements were effective for the 2014 elections. And like Virginia, Alabama used to accept other kinds of non‐photo identification, such as utility bills and Social Security cards, but the new law requires voters to have photo IDs to vote, although the state says it will also provide free voter IDs to those who don’t have them.

Why a Nation At Risk?

The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy. But the 50-year Republican campaign to suppress that right not only threatens our very democracy but also puts everything we’ve fought for at risk while also limiting any chance we have to make life better for working Americans.
