Our much-anticipated 2026 Primary Elections are next Tuesday, May 19. We have been awaiting this for a while. This is our big election year in Alabama politics. All our constitutional offices are on the ballot. Also, all our legislative seats are up for election. Most states elect their Governor in the same year as the Presidential election year. Alabama, and several of the other southern states, have their Governor's race in what is termed nationally as the ‘off–year' election year. We refer to this year in Alabama as our gubernatorial year.

Steve Flowers previews Alabama primary elections, including the governor’s race, U.S. Senate contest and statewide Republican races.
