Merrill announced the formation of the Voter Fraud Reform Task Force, which will meet on Thursday, Sept. 30, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The meeting will take place at the Alabama State House in Room 123 on 11 South Union Street in Montgomery. The task force will consist of 15 members, including the Secretary of State serving as the Chairman.

“We believe it is necessary to examine how we define voter fraud in our state and the penalties we assess for voter fraud violations. It is important to note that we assembled a team of respected Alabamians from diverse backgrounds and political persuasions,” Secretary Merrill said in a statement on Thursday, Sept. 23.
