Alabama March Super Tuesday preview

Five states are holding primaries for congressional and state offices on March 5: Alabama, Arkansas, California, North Carolina, and Texas.
In Alabama, voters will decide primaries for congressional, judicial, and state executive offices next week.

Alabama is not holding elections for U.S. Senate or the state legislature in 2024. The state holds state legislative elections every four years, with the next elections coming in 2026.

A primary candidate in Alabama must win a majority of the vote to be declared the winner. If no candidate wins a majority of votes, the top two vote-getters will advance to a runoff on April 16.
