Tuesday is game day for Alabama Republicans, and the Secretary of State’s office has made sure every voter can walk into the booth knowing exactly what’s on the Alabama primary sample ballot before they get there.
Sample ballots for all 67 counties are now posted online through the Secretary of State’s website. For a look at the statewide slate every Republican voter will see Tuesday, the Mobile County GOP sample ballot is a good reference point.
Statewide Republican Contests
The following races will appear on every GOP ballot in the state regardless of where you vote.

- “Alabama” Will Santivasci

Lieutenant Governor:

Voters will also weigh in on contested races for Secretary of State, State Auditor, Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, State Treasurer, Public Service Commission, State Board of Education, three Alabama Supreme Court seats, and four intermediate appellate court seats.
Two statewide constitutional amendments, Amendment 1 and Amendment 2, round out the statewide portion of the ballot. U.S. House, state legislative, and local races vary by district and county, which is why pulling up your own county’s sample ballot ahead of time is the easiest way to avoid surprises at the polls.
What Alabama Voters Need to Know
Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19. If you’re in line at 7 p.m., you vote. Photo ID is required.
Acceptable forms include a valid Alabama driver’s license, state-issued non-driver ID, U.S. passport, military or federal ID, valid Alabama college or university student ID, tribal ID, or a free Alabama Photo Voter ID card available through your county Board of Registrars.
Alabama runs an open primary, meaning you don’t have to be a registered Republican to pull a Republican ballot, but you can only vote in one party’s primary.
Whichever ballot you choose Tuesday locks you into that party’s runoff. Only contested races appear on the ballot. Candidates running unopposed won’t show up Tuesday.
Find your polling place with the “I Am A Voter” lookup at alabamavotes.gov or by calling your county Board of Registrars.
The primary runoff, where needed, is set for Tuesday, June 16. The general election follows on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
