What’s on the ballot today in Alabama? Everything voters decide – Montgomery Advertiser

Alabama voters head to the polls today for runoff elections that will determine Republican and Democratic nominees in several statewide and legislative races in the 2026 midterm elections.
The contests include races for U.S. Senate, attorney general, lieutenant governor and multiple state House seats. At the same time, the Alabama Republican Party has ruled that U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville will remain on the party’s gubernatorial ballot following a residency challenge.
Here’s what Alabama voters need to know.
The Alabama GOP Candidate Committee determined Sunday that Tuberville will remain on the ballot for governor after reviewing a challenge to his eligibility.
Ken McFeeters, who ran against Tuberville in the Republican primary, argued that Tuberville does not meet the Alabama Constitution’s seven-year residency requirement. The committee’s decision allows Tuberville to proceed as the party’s nominee heading into the general election.
Republican voters will decide between U.S. Rep. Barry Moore and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson in the GOP runoff for U.S. Senate.
Moore led the primary and is emphasizing his legislative record and endorsements, including support from President Donald Trump. Hudson, a former Navy SEAL, has focused his campaign on imposing congressional term limits and passing the SAVE America Act.
On the Democratic side, Everett Wess faces Dakarai Larriett for the party nomination.
Candidates are competing for the nomination to succeed Tuberville in the Senate. The winner will advance to the November general election. 
The republican runoff for Alabama attorney general pits Deputy Attorney General Katherine Robertson against former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell.
The race has focused heavily on experience in the justice system, campaign funding sources and competing views on how the office should approach criminal law and public safety.
The winner will face Democratic nominee Jeff McLaughlin, an attorney and former state representative.
Former Alabama Republican Party chair John Wahl faces Secretary of State Wes Allen in the GOP runoff for lieutenant governor.
The lieutenant governor presides over the state Senate and is first in line of succession to the governor, making the race one of the most closely watched statewide contests. 
The winner will face Democratic nominee Phillip Ensler in November.
Republican voters will choose between Corey Hill and Christina McInnis for Alabama commissioner of agriculture and industries. 
McInnis has emphasized changes to nutrition programs and reducing waste and fraud in state agriculture-related services. Hill has focused on expanding agricultural branding programs and strengthening food safety initiatives.
The winner will face Democratic nominee Ron Sparks in the general election.
In the Republican runoff for Public Service Commission Place 2, Jim Zeigler faces incumbent Chris Beeker.
The commission regulates Alabama utilities, including electricity rates. Zeigler has criticized utility companies, while Beeker has emphasized keeping energy costs stable and opposing federal climate policies.
The winner will face Democratic nominee Sheila McNeil.
Republican Voters in House District 17 will choose between Phillip Segraves and Michael Beck.
The district includes Lamar, Marion and Winston counties. Both candidates have emphasized education and career training, though they differ in their approaches to school policy and local development.
In House District 37, Republican voters will select between John Jacobs and Jeff Monroe. 
Both candidates have focused on infrastructure and education, while also emphasizing different priorities around agriculture and public safety in the district. 
The winner will face Democratic nominee Michelle French. 
Incumbent Rep. Frances Holk-Jones faces Joe Freeman in the Republican runoff for House District 95 in Baldwin County. 
Holk-Jones is seeking another term and has highlighted her work on opioid settlement oversight. Freeman has emphasized opposition to gambling and a pro-life platform.
The winner will advance to the general election in November. 
Democratic voters will also select nominees in several races, including U.S. Senate and key legislative districts.

Wess and Larriett are competing for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, with both candidates focusing on economic policy and government reform.

Polls will be open Tuesday, June 16, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. statewide.
Voters must present a valid photo ID, including a driver’s license, passport, military ID or approved student or employee identification.
Election officials will begin counting ballots after polls close, with results reported throughout the evening.
Winners of Tuesday’s runoffs will become their party’s nominee in the Nov. 3, 2026, election. In some untested districts, runoff winners will effectively be the presumptive office holders.
