I am reluctant to determine the number of voters that will actually vote. It would be great if all registered voters actually did vote on Election Day.”
Cullman County Probate Judge Tammy Brown

CULLMAN – On Wednesday the Cullman County Probate Office released sample ballots for the March 1 primaries.

“Sample ballots give the public the opportunity before the election to view what exactly will be on the ballot. There is a constitutional amendment on the ballot that voters may not be aware of,” Cullman County Probate Judge Tammy Brown said.

While voting in primaries, voters must choose either the Democrat or Republican ballot. Brown said those not wanting to declare either party are still permitted to vote. Just on a smaller scale.

“For all primary elections, the voter must declare to vote in the Democrat or Republican Primary. In the event the voter will not choose there is a constitutional amendment on the ballot and the voter may choose to vote for that only,” she said.

As far as an expectation of registered voters showing up to the polls on March 1, Brown said she cannot determine a number of registered voters who will vote.

“It would be great if all registered voters actually did vote on Election Day,” she said.

Brown said registered voters, “must provide current identification to vote (Driver’s License, State-issued ID, etc.) A list of acceptable identification may be viewed on the Secretary of State website.”
