CAMPAIGN 2026: See sample ballots from your county for May 19 primaries

CAMPAIGN 2026 (WAKA) – The Alabama primaries are Tuesday, May 19. State and local races will be on the ballot, including open seats for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and U.S. Senate. All seats in the Alabama Legislature are also being decided, as are the contested races for U.S. House.

Here is a list of sample ballots for the Democratic and Republican primaries from all of the state’s 67 counties, from the Alabama Secretary of State’s office.

Remember, you will need to tell a poll worker if you want the Democratic or the Republican ballot. You cannot vote in both primaries.

Some races are statewide. Others are by district or by county.

If one candidate in a race doesn’t finish with 50% +1 of the vote, then the top two finishers will face off in a runoff on Tuesday, June 16. By state law, you must vote in the same party’s runoff as you did in the primary. For example, you cannot vote in the Democratic primary and switch to vote in the Republican runoff. You would have to vote in the Democratic runoff.

Only contested races will appear on the ballot. If a candidate faces no opposition within his or her party, that candidate’s name will not be on the primary ballot.

Polls will be open from 7AM to 7PM on primary day.
