Baldwin County's June 16 Runoff: Who's on the Ballot and How to Vote
Alabama's primary runoff is Tuesday, June 16. Eight contests remain on Baldwin County ballots — five statewide Republican races, the Democratic U.S. Senate race, and two local races — and the winners advance to the Nov. 3 general election. Here's every matchup, how each candidate finished May 19, and how to vote.
Baldwin County voters return to the polls Tuesday, June 16, for Alabama's primary runoff — the round that settles the races no one won outright on May 19. Under state law, a primary candidate needs more than 50 percent of the vote to win the nomination. Where no one cleared that bar, the top two finishers meet again Tuesday, and the winners become their party's nominees for the general election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
Eight contests are still unsettled on Baldwin County ballots — five statewide Republican races, the Democratic U.S. Senate race, and two local Republican races that appear only in certain districts. No single voter sees all of them: your ballot depends on where you live and which party's primary you voted in May. Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and June runoffs usually draw light turnout, so each vote carries more weight than it would in a busier election.
- Bring a valid photo ID. Alabama requires one at the polls.
- One party only. If you voted in the May 19 primary, you must vote in that same party's runoff. If you sat out the primary, you may choose either party's ballot — but only one.
- Check your ballot first. Because the local races run by district, your ballot may differ from a neighbor's. Look up your polling place and a personalized sample ballot at alabamavotes.gov.

Tuesday's winners become their parties' nominees for the general election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, when the Republican and Democratic nominees — along with any independent or minor-party candidates who qualified — appear on the same ballot. In a county where the Republican primary drew about five times as many voters as the Democratic primary, the GOP runoff is, for several of these offices, the most competitive vote many residents will cast this cycle; the winners of the State House District 95 and County Commission District 4 Republican runoffs in particular are likely to face only token opposition in the fall.
Polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday, and anyone in line when the polls close is still allowed to vote. To confirm your registration, find your polling place, or preview your exact ballot, visit the Alabama Secretary of State's voter portal.
