Birmingham, AL, October 14, 2026 —

Alabama voters will decide the fate of two proposed constitutional amendments concerning public K-12 schools. Amendments 3 and 4 would require schools to adopt policies for daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, allow student-led prayer and require weekly performance of the first stanza of the national anthem.

The proposals place the decision with voters, who will have the final say on whether the amendments are adopted. The information provided does not include the election date or further details about how the voting process will proceed.

The available description also does not explain whether the provisions are divided between Amendment 3 and Amendment 4 or apply to both. It does not identify a proposed implementation timeline, the policies schools would need to adopt, or the individuals or groups behind the amendments.

As described, the amendments address school policies and activities involving the pledge, student-led prayer and the national anthem. Further details about the proposals’ wording and potential implementation were not provided.
