The Alabama 1867 voter registration records were created as a direct result of a
Reconstruction Act
passed by the United
States Congress on March 23, 1867. The act required the commanding officer in each military district to hold, before
September 1, 1867, a registration of all male citizens, 21 years and older, in each county who were also qualified to
vote and who had taken the loyalty oath.
Each registrant visited the local registration office, took the oath, and was listed in the Voter Registration record. Individuals ineligible to register included Confederate veterans and any person who had previously taken an oath as a member of Congress, as an officer of the United States, as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, and who later engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or gave aid or comfort to the enemies thereof, and whose "disability" had not been removed by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress. Because the local military authorities responsible for registering individuals in 1867 may have interpreted the Act regarding the creation of the records differently, a number of otherwise eligible citizens living in the county may not be reflected in the volumes. |
