2026 Alabama House of Representatives election

The 2026 Alabama House of Representatives election will be held on November 3, 2026. Voters will elect members of the Alabama House of Representatives in all 105 of the U.S. state of Alabama's legislative districts to serve a four-year term. Prior to the elections, the Republican Party of Alabama held a wide majority over the Democratic Party of Alabama, controlling 76 seats to their 29. One seat, formerly held by a Republican, is currently vacant.

This election will take place alongside races for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, governor, state senate, and numerous other state and local offices.

Background

Stone v. Allen

During the 2020 redistricting cycle, Alabama's congressional and state legislative maps faced legal challenges for alleged violations of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. 27% of Alabama's population is African American, but only 28 of Alabama's house districts, or 23%, were drawn with a black majority. The initial complaint challenged twelve of the senate districts and twenty-one of the state house districts, although the lawsuit was ultimately reduced to four of the senate districts in Huntsville and Montgomery.

Special elections

Ten special elections to the Alabama House of Representatives have been held since the 2022 elections due to vacancies created by early resignations.

District 10

On August 31, 2023, Republican David Cole resigned after being charged with voter fraud. Democrat Marilyn Lands, who had lost to Cole in 2022, based her campaign on reproductive rights, opposing Alabama's ban on abortion, as well as supporting in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the aftermath of LePage v. Center for Reproductive Medicine. The decision in that case considered frozen embryos to be children, which many interpreted as a ban on IVF in light of the state's abortion law. The race drew national attention as a result, with many seeing it as an indicator of possible public backlash to the decision. Lands won the election by a wide margin.
