Orange Beach, Ala. – (OBA) – In response to the rapid population growth in Baldwin County, including the Cites of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, significant changes have been implemented to the county's voting precincts. The Baldwin County Commission, recognizing the impact of this demographic shift, passed Resolution #2024-020 in November 2023. This resolution authorized the creation of new voting precincts and the relocation of several polling locations, ensuring that the upcoming 2024 statewide elections accommodate the evolving needs of the county's electorate.

Seven new voting precincts were created, and eight polling places were relocated in existing voting precincts. Boundary lines were modified in six precincts to accommodate the relocations. As a result of these changes, there are 15 new polling locations throughout Baldwin County.

The areas where new voting precincts were created are Spanish Fort, Malbis, Summerdale, Gulf Shores, Magnolia Springs, Daphne, and Loxley. A new polling location has been designated for each new voting precinct.

Polling locations were relocated in the north Baldwin County areas of Little River and Crossroads, on the Eastern Shore in Spanish Fort, Bromley, and Point Clear, and in south Baldwin County in Magnolia Springs, Bon Secour, and Orange Beach.

The official public notice that was released with the updates and changes can be viewed HERE.

There were 49,666 new voter cards were mailed to all affected registered voters between November 30 and December 5, 2023. Voter cards are white postcard size mail outs that contain important information including the voter’s name, address, designated polling location, and the political districts in which the voter lives. Citizens may confirm their registration status at Alabama Votes | Alabama Secretary of State.
