Special Primaries Held in Alabama Following Supreme Court Decision

The American flag is prominently displayed at the top of the U.S. Capitol building as of September 22, 2025, in Washington. Voters in certain Alabama congressional districts are heading to the polls for a series of rescheduled primary elections.

Republican Governor Kay Ivey initiated special primaries in the 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th Congressional Districts. This decision followed a significant Supreme Court ruling that weakened parts of the Voting Rights Act, allowing Alabama to implement a previously barred House map that benefits the GOP. Earlier this year, voters in three other House districts in Alabama participated in primaries held in May.

These special primaries reflect the ongoing political shifts following judicial decisions affecting electoral boundaries. The polls in these districts will close at 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. For up-to-date information, refer to the live results provided by Decision Desk HQ.
