[[Image:Old ballot box.jpg|right|150px|Old ballot box.jpg]]Yearly voting registers list the persons who were eligible to vote. Male citizens over the age of 21 were eligible to vote. Women will be listed only after 1920. County registers may be available from about 1900. For immigrants, the records sometimes mention the date and court of [[Alabama Naturalization and Citizenship|naturalization]]. They are arranged by precinct and are not alphabetical. They give the person’s name, age, precinct, post office, and date of birth and include the years the poll tax was paid. Sometimes the record may indicate "deceased," "moved," "gone," or "out of county." The Family History Library has microfilms of many of these county records, sometimes to the 1940s. For example:{{FHL| 1672913}}. These records are arranged by year, location, and then surname. They include the name of the voter, and usually the age, precinct or ward, and post office. Beginning in 1908, the records usually give the exact date of birth. | [[Image:Old ballot box.jpg|right|150px|Old ballot box.jpg]]Yearly voting registers list the persons who were eligible to vote.
