BAY MINETTE, Ala. — Baldwin County voters will head to the polls Tuesday to decide the outcome of a slate of state constitutional amendments, as well as national state and county offices following February’s Presidential Preference Primary.

The marquee local election will be between Daphne City Councilman Ron Scott and appraiser Teddy Faust who are vying for the Baldwin County Revenue Commissioner post.

Revenue Commissioner Phil Nix did not seek re-election to the post.

Baldwin County Absentee Elections Manager Jane Still said requests for ballots have been “slow” for Tuesday’s election.

Still said she has filled 155 requests for ballots, including 29 for military personnel and 10 people out of the country.

As of Friday, she had received 45 ballots.

“It has been slow and many people are requesting ballots and not listing party preferences,” Still said. “Without that, I can’t send a ballot, just the amendments section.”

According the Baldwin County Probate Office Web site, there are 103,933 active and inactive registered voters in Baldwin County as of May 1.

When Polls Close

Poll workers will close voting sites at 7 p.m. June 3, remove data packs from each voting machine and seal the packs along with the hard-copy ballots.

Poll inspectors will hand over the packets to a team of Sheriff’s deputies and support staff who will transport the voting materials to Bay Minette for tallying.

They will meet that afternoon and review any problems that may have been encountered. Later that evening, deputies will be added to the team to collect the voting documents and transport them to the Baldwin County Administration Building in Bay Minette for counting.

Late that afternoon, Probate Court and county staffers will transport vote counting machines to the Administration Building. Projection devices also will be erected.

By 7:20 p.m. data packs will begin arriving and will be hand delivered to staffers manning the vote counting machines. The results of each precinct will immediately appear on the screen for public and media view. The process will continue until all votes are counted.

The hard-copy ballots will remain secured by the Sheriff, who is the designated custodian.

The public also will be able to watch as the data packs are unsealed and inserted into the counting machines. The unofficial results will be posted that evening at probate.co.baldwin.al.us.

According to a Probate Office spokesperson, individual precinct results will be fed continuously to the Web site during the evening and cumulative results will be periodically posted during the count.
