[EL] Question for the list about tabulation of early in-person votes

[Edward Still]

In Alabama, a voter may cast an absentee ballot by going to the office of
the absentee ballot manager, or by mailing the ballot back to the ABM.

Upon receipt of the absentee ballot, the absentee election manager must
record such on the absentee list and safely keep the ballots without
breaking the seal of the affidavit envelope until election day. Beginning
at noon on election day, the absentee election manager must deliver the
sealed affidavit envelopes to the election officials designated for
counting absentee ballots.

An absentee ballot submitted by hand delivery to the absentee election
manager must be received in person from the voter no later than the close
of the last business day before the day of election, or, in the case of a
voter under the emergency voting procedure, delivered by the medical
emergency designee to and received by the absentee election manager no
later than noon on the day of the election.
