President Joe Biden could be left off the ballot in Alabama, the state’s elections chief said on Tuesday, because the state’s certification deadline comes several days before the Democratic Party’s convention.

Alabama secretary of state Wes Allen, a Republican, made the statement on Tuesday, a day after a similar concern was raised in Ohio that Mr Biden could be left off the ballot in that state.
