Alabama Democratic Party candidate Terry Andrew Heflin has been arrested on seven counts of unlawful use of absentee ballots, according to a news release from the AG’s office.
The 45-year-old candidate was charged with unlawful use of absentee ballots, according to Marshall.
The indictment alleges that Heflin falsified applications to vote absentee for multiple people and then used those people’s names to vote for himself by absentee ballot.
Heflin was booked into the Clay County jail after turning himself in to the sheriff’s office.
