Overview

Alabama's 2026 ballot is headlined by two open statewide seats: Governor Kay Ivey is term-limited, and Senator Tommy Tuberville gave up his Senate seat to run for her job, setting up a November 3 governor's race against former Senator Doug Jones. Alabama's open primary was held May 19; June 16 runoffs will settle the Senate nominations, and a Supreme Court redistricting order moved four US House primaries to an August 11 special election. This hub connects live market odds with candidate pages, polling context, official dates and market-moving updates across Alabama's 2026 races.

The 2026 primary was held May 19, with runoffs set for June 16.
Why is the 2026 Alabama Governor race important?
Governor Kay Ivey is term-limited, making 2026 an open-seat race for Alabama's top office. It pairs sitting US Senator Tommy Tuberville with former US Senator Doug Jones in a rematch of their 2020 Senate contest, and Tuberville's decision to run set off a chain reaction that also opened Alabama's Class 2 US Senate seat.
