But so far so good.

With two months to go before the november 4rd general election, there's important information you need to know to make sure your vote counts.

Joining us now live via zoom is alabama secretary of state john merrill.

Secretary merrill, good morning.

There's so much talk about mail-in voting.

We know here in alabama..

You need to request an absentee ballot application if you want to vote by mail.

How do you know that your vote will actually county if you vote by mail?

There's a cnn story that reports that 32 states - including alabama - will not count ballots after election day even if they were postmarked earlier than november 2nd.

Is that true?

How could this have been reported in the first place?

The deadline to request an absentee ballot is october 29th.

September is national voter registration month.

What are you doing to get people to register?

What are you doing to recruit more poll workers?

To see that all polling places are adequately staffed?

How are you making sure the polls for in-person voting is safe and secure for election day.?

Alabama secretary of state john merrill.

Secretary merrill, we will have you back.

Thanks for being with us.
