First General Election Ballots for 2024 Presidential Race Mailed in Alabama

Alabama initiates the voting process with absentee ballots, as North Carolina faces delays due to legal disputes.

Alabama began mailing absentee ballots to eligible voters on Wednesday, marking the start of the 2024 general election voting process.
North Carolina's absentee ballot distribution was delayed due to a lawsuit by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to remove his name from the ballot after endorsing Donald Trump.
Alabama's absentee ballots are available to voters with specific reasons such as illness, travel, or work conflicts on Election Day.
Several other states, including Virginia, will begin mailing ballots and in-person early voting later this month.
New restrictions in Alabama limit who can assist with absentee ballot applications, reflecting broader trends in Republican-led states.
