Section 45-30-102 Election of superintendent. (a) The Legislature finds that Amendment 578
to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, was approved by an overwhelming majority of the voters
of Franklin County and the Franklin County School District at the election held for that purpose.
The Legislature further finds and declares that subsection (b) of Amendment 578 was intended
to require approval of a majority of those qualified electors of the political subdivisions
voting at the constitutional amendment election and was not intended to require approval by
a majority of the registered voters in the respective political subdivisions. However, because
the Legislature is mindful that opponents to Amendment 578 may attempt to challenge Amendment
578 based on an unreasonable interpretation of subsection (b) of Amendment 578, the Legislature

(b) Candidates for election to the office of the...

Section 17-3-30.1 Disqualification of electors for felonies involving moral turpitude. (a)
This section shall be known and may be cited as the Felony Voter Disqualification Act. (b)(1)
The Legislature finds and declares that: a. Article VIII of the Constitution of Alabama of
1901, now appearing as Section 177 of Article VIII of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution
of Alabama of 1901, as amended, provides that Alabama citizens shall lose the right to vote
when convicted of a crime only if the conviction was for a felony involving moral turpitude.
b. Under general law, there is no comprehensive list of felonies that involve moral turpitude
which disqualify a person from exercising his or her right to vote. Neither individuals with
felony convictions nor election officials have a comprehensive, authoritative source for determining
if a felony conviction involves moral turpitude and is therefore a disqualifying felony. (2)
The purposes of this section are: a. To give full effect...
