Alabama voters to elect candidates in redrawn map
Four redrawn U.S. House districts will vote again Aug. 11 after ballots cast Tuesday in those races are set to be discarded, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Alabama voters will head to the polls to select partisan candidates for statewide races, though votes for four U.S. House districts will not count until a special election on August 11.
- The state chose to redistrict after the Supreme Court restricted a provision in the Voting Rights Act that allowed states to gerrymander districts in favor of minority populations.
- Ballotpedia ranks the Republican U.S. Senate primary as a battleground, where Rep. Barry Moore raised $2.3 million, Attorney General Steve Marshall $1.3 million, and Jared Hudson $1.5 million.
- Voters will also elect candidates for the state legislature's 35 Senate and 105 House seats, while Tommy Tuberville and Governor Kay Ivey compete for the gubernatorial nomination.
- If no candidate wins a majority on Tuesday, a runoff election will occur on June 16, and voters in the four affected congressional districts will return to the ballot box on August 11.
