The American flag waves at the U.S. Capitol building in Washington on September 22, 2025. Alabamans in select congressional districts are heading to the polls for postponed primary elections.
Republican Governor Kay Ivey has initiated special primaries in Alabama’s 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th Congressional Districts. This decision follows a major Supreme Court ruling that weakened aspects of the Voting Rights Act. As a result, Alabama can now implement a previously blocked House map that favors Republican candidates.
Earlier this year, voters in the state’s other three House districts participated in their primaries in May. The polls are scheduled to close at 7 p.m. EDT. For real-time updates, you can follow Decision Desk HQ’s live results.
