Has Your Birmingham Polling Place Changed?
Polls open for voting Tuesday 7 am to 7 pm as city voters cast their ballots for mayor, city council and school board.
With 89 candidates on the ballot, including 12 running for mayor, the field is wide. If a runoff is needed in any race, it will be on October 3.
Voters must present photo identification at the polls. Several polling places have changed since the 2013 city elections. The city mailed out polling place location cards to each registered voter. If you still have questions about where to vote, you can go to the city’s website at www.Birminghamal.gov.
