Alabama Regulations § 820-2-2-.32 Oath On The Voter Registration Form

⤴ Up to Chapter 820-2-2: Voter Registration

Regulation Text

Pursuant to 17-3-52 of the Code of Alabama, voter registration applicants must sign a voter registration form that contains an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State Constitution of Alabama. Currently, that oath ends with the phrase "so help me God." If an applicant objects to that phrase due to sincerely held beliefs, the applicant may strike through the phrase and then sign the registration form. If the applicant is otherwise qualified to vote, the Board of Registrars shall accept a valid voter registration form when the phrase "so help me God" is stricken through by the applicant. Striking through this phrase is the only modification that applicants may make to the language of the voter registration form.
