Ivey Calls Special Primary for Alabama Senate Districts After Redistricting Ruling
The new vote follows a federal appeals court ruling on Alabama’s 2021 Senate map, and the May 19 results in both districts are void.
- On Friday, Governor Kay Ivey called a special primary election for Alabama Senate Districts 25 and 26 after a federal appeals court allowed the state to use its 2021 Alabama-drawn State Senate map.
- The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Alabama can use the 2021 maps, a decision Ivey praised as "yet another victory for Alabamians and our elections."
- Because of the special election order, May 19 primary results for Senate Districts 25 and 26 are now void, and state officials confirmed there will be no runoff election.
- Candidates must qualify with major political parties by 8 a.m. Tuesday, June 2, while the special primary is set for August 11 and the general election for November 3.
- Alabama's broader redistricting battle continues, with Ivey remaining hopeful the Supreme Court will rule in the state's favor on a separate congressional redistricting case.
