Alabama 2026 midterm elections
Overview
As the November 3, 2026, general election approaches, voting advocates are emphasizing the importance of student registration to influence the state’s future leadership.
The upcoming midterm cycle is significant as Alabama is one of a small number of states holding major elections in non-presidential years. The ballot includes races for Governor, all constitutional officeholders, and all 140 seats in the state legislature.
Analysts have noted a substantial rise in campaign costs over the last four decades, with State House seats costing roughly $400,000 and State Senate seats reaching nearly $1 million. Additionally, incumbency remains high, with approximately 80% of the legislature running unopposed. Voter turnout for the election is projected to be between 33% and 36%.
