"A majority of the qualified electors of any county, except those counties that have built new courthouses in the past twenty years, may petition the governor in writing praying that an election be held in such county for the purpose of determining whether the county seat or site shall be removed from the city, town or village where it is then located to another designated city, town, or village in such county." (Ala. Code, 11-6-1 [1975]). This series consists of affidavits requesting that the governor not uphold the recent petition for an election to move the Lamar County seat from Vernon to Sulligent. Information available on these affidavits included a signed statement requesting that the governor not grant the petition for election and a signed statement that the individual is a qualified voter and property owner within Lamar County.
