State House results: 2026 Alabama primary runoffs
Runoffs will decide nominees for U.S. Senate, statewide offices and several House seats after no candidate won a majority in May.
- Alabama voters headed to the polls Tuesday to determine party nominees for federal, state, and local offices ahead of the November 3, 2026, general election after no candidate secured an outright majority in the May 19 primary.
- Runoff elections occur only for races where candidates failed to reach 50% of the vote in May. Officials expect turnout to remain below the 23% recorded during the initial primary, as Alabama remains one of the few states without in-person early voting.
- Rep. Barry Moore and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson faced off for the Republican Senate nomination with Moore backed by President Donald Trump, while Democrats Everett Wess and Dakarai Larriett competed for their party's nomination to succeed Sen. Tommy Tuberville.
- Secretary of State Wes Allen faced former Alabama Republican Party chair John Wahl for lieutenant governor, while voters decided between Deputy Attorney General Katherine Robertson and former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell for the Republican attorney general nomination.
- Voters also weighed in on the Public Service Commission race between incumbent Chris Beeker and Jim Zeigler, as Governor Kay Ivey's recent signing of the "Power to the People" Act expands the commission from three to seven members.
