MONTGOMERY, Ala.--
Secretary of State Beth Chapman announced the appointments to the Boards
of Registrars today. All 67 counties
have a Board of Registrars that serves as the local entity for voter
registration. The Governor, State
Auditor and the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries each appoint one
registrar in every county except Jefferson County, which by law is appointed by
the County Commission.
“These appointments are among the most important,” said
Chapman. “In order to continue to provide
honest elections across our state, we must have registrars of good character
who are able to demonstrate fair judgment.
With the next presidential election just around the corner, it is
important to have the new appointees ready and trained for their new
responsibilities as soon as possible. I
have no doubt that they will be ready and that we will be served well by the
new slate of registrars.”
