MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- (Business Wire)

of State, AlabamaVotes.gov, was presented with a silver award in the
government agency category for the Horizon Interactive Awards. The site,
which has been promoted heavily by the Secretary of State’s Office as an
integral part of its commitment to the integrity of elections in
Alabama, provides citizens with critical voter and election information.
High traffic features of the site include: a platform for citizens to
register to vote, review election laws, view polling places, and report
election fraud.
The website strongly encourages citizen engagement in upcoming elections

results are also centrally located in a notification banner to alert
site visitors of election outcomes.

with diverse backgrounds, evaluated categories ranging from online
advertising to mobile applications. The 2017 winning entries showcase
the industry’s best interactive media solutions including websites,
mobile applications, print media, interactive displays, public exhibits,
