Alabama’s special primary election 2026: How to find sample ballots for your county

Voters across Alabama are gearing up for a special primary election set for Aug. 11. Residents living in U.S. House Districts 1, 2, 6, and 7 should prepare to head to the polls.

Accessing Your Sample Ballot

Not every county will host elections for both Democratic and Republican candidates, so it is crucial to verify your specific situation before heading out. The Alabama Secretary of State’s office has made it easy to view sample ballots for each county directly on their official website.

Pro tip: You can save time at the voting booth by printing your sample ballot at home, filling it out in advance, and bringing it with you. Just remember to take the document with you when you leave your polling place. You can access your sample ballots here.

Confirming Your District

Need to know which district you fall into? Use the VoterView portal provided by the Secretary of State’s Office. Simply enter your full name and birthday to view your polling location. Once logged in, scroll down to the “Districts” section to identify your specific Congressional district.

Keep in mind that official ballots on election day may look slightly different depending on your precinct's specific candidates. For ongoing coverage, including details on voter ID, candidates, and other essential updates, keep 205focus.com bookmarked and check out our election preview page.
