The Alabama legislature adjourned on May 15 without passing any election law bills of interest. Most surprisingly, even HB 711 failed to pass. HB 711 set up a pilot project for internet voting for overseas voters. It had passed the House 89-3 on April 16, and had passed the Senate unanimously on April 30. But the Senate had added a campaign finance provision. When the bill went to conference committee, the committee removed the campaign finance provision, but then it was too late to send the bill back to the Senate. See this article.

Other election law bills that failed to pass include the ballot access bill, HB 72; the bill to set up a procedure by which write-in candidates who want their write-ins talllied file a declaration of write-in candidacy; and a bill to apportion presidential electors according to what percentage of the popular vote within Alabama they received.
