Lawmakers approve bill to ensure President Biden is on Alabama's November ballot

Montgomery, Alabama

State officials have approved legislation to ensure President Joe Biden will appear on the Alabama’s November ballot, mirroring accommodations the state made four years ago for then-President Donald Trump.

Republican secretaries of state warned that Biden might not appear on state ballots. Trump faced the same issue in Alabama in 2020. The Republican-controlled Alabama Legislature passed legislation to change the certification deadline for the 2020 election to accommodate the date of the GOP convention.
