1902 Alabama elections

A general election was held in the U.S. State of Alabama on November 4, 1902, to elect candidates to various federal, state, and local offices. This was the first general election held in Alabama after the ratification of the 1901 Alabama Constitution. Democratic primary elections were held on August 25.

Statewide elections were contested by the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. The Socialist Party put up a last-minute nominee for the Commissioner of Agriculture. The Prohibition Party unsuccessfully petitioned to get on the ballot, and ran write-in campaigns. Populist candidates were put up and elected to the state legislature.
