A three -judge panel on the 11th Circuit Court unanimously affirmed a lower court decision from September that blocked a portion of the law.

The measure made it illegal to distribute an absentee ballot application that is prefilled with information such as the voter's name.

It also made it a felony to give or receive a payment or a gift for distributing, ordering, requesting, collecting, completing, prefilling, obtaining, or delivering a voter’s absentee ballot.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama, Legal Defense Fund, Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program sued.
