A Bill to Adjust the Deadline in Alabama Law, for Political Parties to Certify their Nominees for President and Vice-President, in order to get on the Ballot in November, has Passed the State Senate.
The Senate Passed SB324 by Sen. Merika Coleman (D-19th District, Pleasant Grove), by a Vote of 31-0 on Tuesday.
Twenty-Five Republicans and Six Democrats, Voted for the Bill. Now It moves to the House of Representatives, and could get Final Passage as early next week.
The Bill is in response to the Notification Two weeks ago, by Secretary of State Wes Allen (R), to the Democratic Party that its National Convention this year, comes too Late to make the Alabama Deadline.
The Convention starts Aug. 19th, Four Days after the Deadline, which is 82 days before the Election, falling on Aug. 15th this year.
Coleman and House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels (D-53rd District, Huntsville), introduced Bills to adjust the Deadline to accommodate the Democratic Nominees.
The Bills change the Deadline to 74 days before the Election. The Bills have had Bipartisan Support and No Opposition.
Lawmakers have had to make similar Fixes in previous years, including in 2020, when both the Conventions of both Parties came after the Deadline.
