The Alabama Secretary of State's website allows you to check voter registration and the location of your polling place. You can find it here. What do I need to vote? Voters must present a valid photo ID before voting. Valid forms of ID include: Alabama driver's license (not expired or expired less than 60 days) Alabama Law Enforcement Agency digital driver's license Alabama Non-Driver ID (not expired or expired less than 60 days) Alabama Photo Voter ID card State-issued ID (Alabama or any other state) Federal-issued ID U.S. Passport Employee ID from the federal government; state of Alabama; county; municipality, board or other entity of Alabama Student or employee ID from a public or private post-secondary educational institution in Alabama or other states (including colleges, universities, postgraduate technical and professional schools) Digital student or employee ID from a public or private post-secondary educational institution in Alabama or other states (including colleges, universities, postgraduate technical and professional schools) Military ID Tribal ID Where is the district located? The district covers part of Cullman and Blount counties, including Snead, Oneota, Hanceville and Blountsville. How did the seat become vacant? The seat became vacant after former Rep. Randall Shedd, R-Fairview, resigned on Feb. 17 to be Senate Pro Tem Garland Gudger's director of constituent affairs. Does the seat have a partisan lean? District 11 is solidly Republican. Shedd, who won the seat in a 2013 special election, never faced opposition in any subsequent general election. What issues dominate the race? SB 322, sponsored by Sen. Jabo Waggoner, R-Vestavia Hills, was signed by Gov. Kay Ivey on May 7. The bill allows the City of Cullman to annex a resort in Cullman County, a dry county, in order for the resort to serve alcohol. Allbright opposes the legislation. Allbright said the timing of the legislation was poor. Cullman County currently does not have representation in the House after Shedd resigned in February and former Rep. Corey Harbison, a Republican, resigned in April after not being present for most of the session. Allbright said he wants more local control of education and said the CHOOSE Act is as local as it gets. He also supports the RAISE Act on the same principle. Fallin declined to comment on any election-related issues. What happens after today? The Republican with the most votes will face Democratic candidate Alex Brasswell, a 30-year-old American Sign Language interpreter, in the special general election on Aug. 26. If a candidate does not receive 50% of the vote, a runoff primary election will be held on June 10. Will the results alter control of the Legislature? No. Republicans currently hold 74 of the 105 seats in the lower chamber and 26 of the 35 seats in the upper chamber. SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE

Arkansas revenue offices issue record number of REAL IDs Tuesday, Sherwood office forced to redirect customers after running out
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansans are coming out in droves to get a REAL ID ahead of the enforcement date on Wednesday. A spokesperson for the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration said Arkansas revenue offices issued a record number of REAL IDs on Tuesday, noting that they issued 10,000 on Monday and expect the number to be as high as 15,000 on Tuesday. REAL ID enforcement starts this week: 5 things to know According to the DFA, the Sherwood Revenue Office was forced to redirect customers to nearby offices after running out. The DFA spokesperson added that a belief that May 7 was the final day to get a REAL ID is leading to a widespread sense of urgency to get a REAL ID. 'That is not the case. DFA will issue the REAL ID for years to come,' the spokesperson said. 'Unless there is an urgent need (a flight in the next day or two), Arkansans can wait and obtain it next week or next year.' DFA officials said they expect revenue offices to be replenished on Wednesday and encourage Arkansans to check back with their nearby revenue offices if they visited one that ran out Tuesday. 'Again, we want to be sure Arkansans understand tomorrow is not the deadline to obtain a REAL ID,' the DFA spokesperson said. 'Their regular license or state ID will certainly remain valid after May 7. For those with an upcoming flight, a U.S. Passport or Department of Defense ID will work in place of a REAL ID to board a flight.' Can you still receive a REAL ID after the May 7 deadline in Arkansas? For more information on what you'll need and how to get a REAL ID, visit Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

TSA won't accept your temporary paper ID as REAL ID. What to bring on your flight instead
Starting May 7, passengers age 18 and older will need to show REAL ID-compliant identification to board domestic flights. But plan ahead − TSA won't accept your temporary paper ID. This means that even if you meet the May 7 deadline, but go to board a domestic flight with your temporary paper ID in the time before your REAL ID card has arrived in the mail, you'll need to provide an alternative form of identification. Here's what you need to know to prepare for air travel after May 7. The Transportation Security Administration accepts a variety of identification for passengers 18 and older flying domestically. Previously, the organization accepted driver's licenses or other state-issued photo identification cards. Now with the introduction of REAL ID, TSA will only accept identification that is REAL ID-compliant. Related: How much is a REAL ID? See the different prices for the new ID Even if you've applied for REAL ID, TSA states that they will not accept temporary paper cards issued by the state, so passengers without cards in hand can provide alternative identification or go through additional screening. However, travelers in this process could experience delays or be denied entry into the security checkpoint. The TSA accepts various forms of federally issued and recognized identification, including those beyond the REAL ID. Other acceptable forms of identification aside from the REAL ID include: State-issued Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) or Enhanced ID (EID) U.S. Passport U.S. Passport card U.S. Department of Defense ID, including IDs issued to dependents. Permanent resident card An acceptable photo ID issued by a federally recognized Tribal Nation/Indian Tribe, including ETCs. While all the above identifications will be accepted, they still do not require children under 18 to provide identification when traveling within the United States. Congress passed the REAL ID Act 20 years ago, establishing minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and identification cards. A major component of the REAL ID process is verifying identity. The star symbol in the upper-right corner of the card identifies REAL IDs. Still need your REAL ID? Service Oklahoma to offer some evening hours ahead of deadline Several states, including Oklahoma, were either slow to adopt or outright refused the standards. At the time, Oklahoma lawmakers passed legislation saying they would not participate in the program, citing privacy issues and cost. The REAL ID will be implemented on May 7. If you don't have a REAL ID by the May deadline and need to catch a domestic flight, you can still board the plane with another approved form of identification. The TSA lists several forms of usable identification on its website, including a passport, a photo ID issued by a federally recognized tribal nation/tribe, or a Veteran Health Identification Card. TSA does not require children under 18 to provide identification when traveling domestically. TSA will not accept the temporary ID given after applying for a REAL ID.
