Special Primary Election Set for August 11 in Four Congressional Districts

July 23-30, 2026 — Alabama

Alabama voters in Congressional Districts 1, 2, 6 and 7 will head back to the polls August 11 for a special primary, after litigation over redistricting forced the state to redraw those district boundaries following the earlier May 19 primary. The Alabama Democratic Party’s vice chair is urging Democrats to consider strategically pulling Republican ballots in the four affected districts to shape a weaker general-election opponent, amid concerns about lower GOP turnout for the special election.
