Calhoun County, AL — Voters across Calhoun County will head to the polls on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, to cast ballots in municipal elections. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Alabama law requires voters to present a valid form of photo identification at their polling place or when voting by absentee ballot.
Candidate information and platforms for all who submitted are available through the Calhoun Journal at Calhoun Journal’s Municipal Elections Guide.
Election Guidance from Secretary of State Wes Allen
Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen is encouraging voters to take advantage of AlabamaVotes.gov, the state’s official election information website. The site provides tools for verifying voter registration status, confirming polling locations, and reviewing Alabama’s photo voter ID requirements.
“AlabamaVotes.gov makes several important tools available to Alabama’s voters,” Allen said. “Before heading to the polls on August 26th, I would encourage Alabama voters to visit our website and verify their voter registration status and polling location. Voters can also review information on Alabama’s important photo voter ID requirements on AlabamaVotes.gov.”
Allen also addressed recent election integrity developments following the arrest of four individuals charged with absentee ballot harvesting. He reaffirmed his office’s commitment to assisting law enforcement in upholding state election laws.
“The Secretary of State’s Office remains vigilant in its pursuit of election integrity and the protection of your vote,” Allen stated. “Absentee ballot harvesting is not being tolerated in Alabama. These arrests send a clear message to those contemplating violating Alabama election law.”
Election Integrity Efforts
Allen has long advocated for legislation designed to strengthen election protections and limit third-party influence. He noted that Alabama law imposes penalties on individuals who violate election regulations and credited lawmakers for passing SB1, which he said reinforces that “Alabama votes are not for sale.”
Allen also expressed appreciation to the Phenix City Police Department, Russell County District Attorney’s Office, the Chambers County Sheriff’s Department, and the Chambers County District Attorney’s Office for their work investigating recent voter fraud allegations.
