The 2026 Alabama Senate election will be held on November 3, 2026. Voters will elect members of the Alabama Senate in all 35 of the U.S. state of Alabama's legislative districts to serve a four-year term.
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 8 of Alabama's senate 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.[1][2]
^Senator Greg Reed is resigning in 2025 to join governor Kay Ivey's administration. A special election will take place in 2025 to fill the remainder of Reed's term.[3]
^Kitchens took office in a special election following the resignation of Clay Scofield.
