Polls will shortly close in Alabama as part of a special election that pits Democrat Doug Jones against Roy Moore, a Republican candidate dogged by sexual misconduct allegations.

The race is neck-and-neck despite the state's strong conservative leanings, with Mr Moore denying the claims of eight women who say he harassed them - including one allegation involving a child aged 14.

Polls close at 7pm local time/8pm ET/1am GMT, with results expected to start coming in soon afterwards.

And speaking at a rally on the eve of the election last night, Mr Moore told supporters: "If you don't believe in my character, don't vote for me." Many of his followers simply don't believe the abuse allegations or say they have been blown out of proportion, and he retains the support of the Republican party and the President, Donald Trump.

Alabama's Secretary of State John Merrill said preliminary estimates show a higher voter turnout for this special election.

Earlier, Merrill had predicted a 25 per cent voter turnout. He said he still felt "comfortable" with that number, but it could maybe be higher.

"We think that that's going to end up being the number. It could be a little bit higher. We've seen some numbers that have been a little bit higher in certain aspects of voting throughout the state, than in other areas. But some areas have underperformed," Mr Merrill said.

He added that "a lot" of the absentee ballots have already been recorded, and there were more absentee votes than usual.

There are reports of high turnout in both rural areas and major cities - both campaigns seem to be confident mood about what that means for their chances. Mr Moore has a strong rural support base, while Mr Jones does better in cities.

But at his own rally on Monday night Mr Jones said the election was a referendum on "who we are and what we're going to tell our daughters". He was joined by basketball star Charles Barkley, who said it was "amazing" Mr Moore was still in the race and the state risked "looking like idiots to the nation".

Mr Jones, for his own part, has been attacked as a liberal who would not properly represent a state that hasn't elected a Democrat senator for 30 years.

Mr Jones acknowledged in Montgomery: "Look, I'm not going to be the senator that everybody in the state can agree with 100 per cent of the time." But he added: "They'll know I'm somebody that will sit down with them. I will learn from them. ... I will try to be the public servant I think a US senator ought to be."

Tuesday's vote is being held to find a replacement for Jeff Sessions, who was selected as Attorney General by President Donald Trump.

Doug Jones has told supporters that his campaign is a chance to be on the “right side of history for the state of Alabama.”

“Judge Moore has been consistently wrong about the Constitution,” Mr Jones said to reporters after casting his ballot at a Baptist church in Birmingham. “I don't think Roy Moore is going to win this election.”

If Mr Jones wins on Tuesday, Republicans would control the Senate by a slim 51-49 margin, giving Democrats momentum ahead of the November 2018 congressional elections, when control of both chambers of Congress will be at stake.

The kiss of death was the false claim against Moore, for the purpose of causing him to lose the election. A new tactic the snowflakes are doing.

" The kiss of death was the false claim against Moore, for the purpose of causing him to lose the election. "

Exactly. Those false allegations destroyed him !!

And the allegations were 40 years old, brought up just a few weeks before the election. How convenient. And the GOPe did not help. Shelby showed his true colors

What if he was innocent ? We will never know.

So, the people of Alabama voted in a Demorat that is pro illegal immigrant, pro abortion, anti second amendment, and will be a toady for the DC establishment ?

I think the people of Alabama will come to regret their choice .

The correct way to look at ANY of these claims, is that the political figure running for office IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY... and if he/she should win and proven guilty after, they need to step down. THAT should have been Trumps position on Moore, when asked weeks ago who he supports.

So...when the allegations about Trump lecherously fondling numerous women turn out to be true, we can count on your whole-hearted support for his resignation, right?
