The 2026 Primary Runoff Election, if needed, will be held Tuesday, June 16.

A voter who does not participate in the May 19 primary may choose either party’s runoff ballot, if a runoff is held.

Two statewide constitutional amendments will appear on both party ballots.
Statewide Amendment 1 would amend the Alabama Constitution to allow judges to deny bail under certain circumstances for additional offenses. According to the ballot language, those offenses include shooting or discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling or other occupied space, or solicitation, attempt or conspiracy to commit murder.
A “yes” vote supports adding those offenses to the list of charges for which a judge may deny bail. A “no” vote opposes the change.
Statewide Amendment 2 would amend the Alabama Constitution to provide that compensation for a district attorney may not be reduced during that district attorney’s term of office.
A “yes” vote supports the change. A “no” vote opposes the change.
Sample ballots note that some offices appear only in certain precincts or districts. Voters should review their sample ballots carefully. On the Republican sample ballot, voters are also instructed to continue voting on the back, where the statewide amendments appear.
Voters who make a mistake on their ballot should not erase it, but should ask a poll worker for a new ballot.
