Alabama’s Secretary of State, Wes Allen, warned that President Joe Biden might not appear on the state’s ballot for the 2024 election due to the certification deadline conflicting with the Democratic National Convention. The state requires certification 82 days before the election, four days before the convention begins. Alabama Democrats are exploring options, including provisional certification. The Biden campaign expressed confidence in being listed on all 50 state ballots, citing past provisional certifications. This issue arose due to a Republican-controlled legislature’s 2020 decision to adjust the certification deadline to accommodate the Republican National Convention, a change that was not permanent.
