Alabama House Passes Bill to Close Primary Elections: A Shift Towards Party Affiliation - The Alabama House of Representatives passed a bill, House Bill five forty-one, to close primary elections. The bill requires voters to register with a political party at least sixty days before a primary or runoff to cast a ballot in that partys race. The bill passed with mostly party-line votes, and it aims to tie voters more closely to a partys identity before they can participate. Republicans behind the bill say it helps parties own their brand and lets voters choose clearly, while Democrats argue it boxes people in and restricts voting access. The bill heads to the Senate next, but its fate looks shaky with only six full legislative days left this session.
