Every race, every candidate

All 232 candidates on the Secretary of State's official list for federal, statewide and legislative offices, each with a profile page. County and local races are on your sample ballot.

Governor, statewide offices, U.S. Senate and courts

Statewide, voters choose a governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, auditor, agriculture commissioner, two Public Service Commission seats, a U.S. senator, and judges for the Alabama Supreme Court, Court of Civil Appeals and Court of Criminal Appeals. Judges in Alabama run in partisan races, like other offices. U.S. House Districts 1, 2, 6 and 7 are held back from the list below: Alabama held special primaries on August 11, 2026 under the new map, and the official Republican nominee for each of those districts is not in the state certifications we have. Check your sample ballot for those four districts.

U.S. House

Your district's one vote in the U.S. House. House members write and vote on federal laws, taxes and spending, and every bill to raise taxes has to start in the House. A term is two years.

State Senate

Your district's vote in the Alabama Senate. Senators write and vote on state laws and the state budgets, approve some of the governor's appointments, and put constitutional amendments like the ones on this ballot before voters. A term is four years.

All 35 state Senate seats are on the ballot; senators serve four-year terms. Races with one candidate are still on the ballot. District 25 shows only the Democratic nominee, because we could not confirm the Republican nominee from the state certifications we have. District 26 shows the Democratic nominee only, because we found no Republican candidate in them. Check your sample ballot for both.

State House

Your district's vote in the Alabama House of Representatives. Members write and vote on state laws and the state budgets; bills to raise money must start in the House. A term is four years.

All 105 state House seats are on the ballot; members serve four-year terms. Races with one candidate are still on the ballot.
