Military voting bill in committee today

A bill to expand voting options in Alabama for military and overseas citizens is in committee this morning.

HB30, sponsored by Rep. Jimmy Martin. D-Clanton, is in the House Constitution and Elections committee at 9:30 a.m. today.

Last year, the same bill made it through the legislature but was killed at the last minute due to an amendment that many in the Senate perceived to be aimed at Artur Davis' campaign for governor.

Secretary of State Beth Chapman and her staff have championed this bill for several years and they hope to see it pass this year, they've said in multiple interviews with the Montgomery Advertiser.
