SUMMARY: This certification of Barbour County, Alabama, will enable the

that county to monitor the conduct of the October 11, 1994, special

of the Voting Rights Act because of the coverage of the state under 
Section 4 of the Act. As a result, all counties in the state are

subject to the assignment of federal observers under Section 8 of the 
Act after the Attorney General has certified that county.
