S 17-23-1. Illegal voting or attempting to vote.

Any person who votes more than onee at any election held in this state, or
deposits more than one ballot for the same office as his vote at such election,
or knowingLy attempts to vote when he is not entitled to do so, or is guilty oi
a-ny kind of illegal or fraudulent voting, must, on conviction, be impri"sonei in
the penitentiary for not less than two nor more than five years, at the discretion
gfthejury. (Code 18?6, S 4289; Code 1gg6, S 4185; Code tbSO, S aegZ; Code 190?,
5 6788; Code 1923, 5 3906; Code 1g40, T. l?, S 802.)

Scope of section. - The language of this
seetion is broad enough !o embraee, and in fact
does in ipsis verbis embrace, "any election held
in this state." Gandy v. Stat€,82 Ala. 61, 2 So.
465 (188?). See also Anderson v. State, 72 Ala.
187 (1882); Washington v. State, ?5 Ala. 582
0884).

"Election" defined. - The word ,,election,'
nreans the aet of casting and reeeiving ballols,
and the day and time of voting. State v. Tucker,
54 Ala. 205 (18?5).

Mlrtake ar to qualifleatlonr. - A minor, who
is otherwise duly qualified, eannot be eonvieted
of illegal voting beeause he was not of the
requisite age, if he voted under the honest belief,
indueed by information from parenls, relations
or acquaintances having knowledge of the time
of his birth, that he had attained his majority.
Gordon v. State, 52 l\Ia.308 08?5).

However, if one votes reeklessly, or
earelessly, when the faets are uneertain or
doubtful, his ignoranee will not exeuse him.
Gordon v. State, 52 Ala. 308 (18?5). See also
Carter v. Stat€, 55 Ala. lgl 0g?6).

The poll llsts are the hlghest and best
evldence of who voted at an election. Wilson v.
state, 52 Ala. 299 08?5). See also Hunter v.
State, 55 Ala. 76 (18?6).

Sufflcleney of lndletment. - A count of an
indictment ehnrging that the defendant, not
being 2l years (now l8 years) of age, voted at
a given general election held in this state is
suffieient. Gordon v. State, 12 Ala. l0g 08?S).

Howevor, a m(,r(, gonerrl necusation of illegal
voting, without slncifying in what the illegal
voting conrirtnrl, in nol rufficiont to Buplrort tr
conviction. Gordon v. SLrre, SZ Ala. B0Biig?S).

An indietment for dual voting is not
demurrahle beeause it fails to allege the names
of the persons or offieers for whom the accused
votrrrl. Wilson v. State, 52 Ala. 299 (18?ll). See
also Carter v. State, l-rJ'r Ala. l8l (1826).
