Today is Election Day!
This may be an “off election year” but in Alabama there are several high-profile races to vote on.
A seat in the U.S. Senate is on the line; every congressional seat is up for a vote and, not to mention, the office of the governor.
There are also other statewide races and those at the county level as well as several amendments to the state Constitution.
The polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.
Yellowhammer News will update this live election blog with results and news as they come in.

“Better roads, more jobs and lower taxes – Alabama voters tonight overwhelmingly rewarded Governor Kay Ivey for her hard work."
RGA said Ivey "is the conservative leader" the state needed to combat "Washington liberals' dangerous policies."
