Alabama Canvassing Board Certifies November 3 Election Results
While some states are still counting ballots, Alabama has already certified the state's election results from Nov. 3.

MONTGOMERY, AL — Although some states in the country are far from certifying their Nov. 3 election results, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill announced Monday that Alabama's election results are now official.
"Ahead of this year’s General Election, Alabamians shattered records for voter registration and voter engagement, proving that even a global pandemic cannot hinder our democratic participation," Merrill said. "Today, we certified those historic results and confirmed that Alabama is committed to providing free, fair, and accessible elections."

Following each state or federal election, the State Canvassing Board, comprised of Merrill, Governor Kay Ivey and Attorney General Steve Marshall, meets to review and certify election results.
