Elections, required publication of registered voters, exception provided

HB 308 amends Alabama election law to clarify that county judges of probate are not required to publish the list of registered voters before a primary election if the publication cost would exceed $40,000. This directly affects counties facing high printing expenses, preventing unnecessary spending on voter list publications. The bill does not change existing requirements for publication when costs are below $40,000, nor does it alter other provisions like the 10-day window for adding omitted voters. The exception is intended to save local governments money while maintaining the core election process.
