The Alabama statute from. FindLawCodes Alabama Title 17. Elections § 17-6-28
Write-in votes shall be permitted only in non-municipal general elections.  The ballot must be constructed so that the voter can mark a write-in vote for each office in the same manner that votes are registered for regular candidates.  In order to cast a valid write-in vote, the voter must (1) write the name on the ballot and (2) register the vote by a mark in the space designated for that office.  A write-in vote shall not be counted if the vote is not registered as provided above.  If a voter registers a vote for a name on the ballot and then writes in another name for the same office but fails to register the write-in vote, the ballot shall be treated as if no write-in vote had occurred and the regular vote shall be counted.  If a properly registered write-in vote causes an over-vote, it shall be treated as any other over-vote and none of the votes for the over-voted office shall be counted.  However, the remainder of the ballot shall be counted.  When counting write-in votes, poll officials must check for over-votes if the electronic ballot counter does not perform the function.
