Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Alabama in 2022. Information below was calculated on Feb. 8, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

In 2022, 271 candidates filed to run for Alabama's 140 state legislative districts: 88 Democrats, 182 Republicans, and one Libertarian. This equals 1.9 candidates per district, down from 2.2 in 2018 and 2.0 in 2014. 

At the time of the candidate filing deadline, of the 140 districts holding elections, either a Democrat or Republican was likely to win 105 (75.0%) because no candidates from the opposing party filed. Democrats were likely to win 27 districts—six in the Senate and 21 in the House—because no Republicans filed to run for them. Republicans were likely to win 78 districts—21 in the Senate and 57 in the House. This represents the lowest rate of major party competition in the state since at least 2014.

Twenty-five of the 140 districts holding elections (17.9%) were left open, meaning no incumbent filed to run in them. This was a decrease from the 37 open districts in 2018 but more than the 20 in 2014. Sixty-three of the 280 possible major party primaries (22.5%) were contested following candidate filings, meaning more than one candidate filed for a party’s nomination in a given district. This was the lowest number of contested primaries since at least 2014, which had 64 contested primary elections.

Process to become a candidate

See also: Ballot access requirements for political candidates in Alabama

DocumentIcon.jpg See statutes: Title 17 of the Code of Alabama

There are four methods by which a candidate can gain ballot access: with an officially recognized political party, with a minor party seeking political party status, as an independent, or as a write-in. Every candidate for state-level office must submit a statement of economic interests when he or she first files for office. Within five days of filing this document, every candidate must organize a campaign finance committee and file an appointment of principal campaign committee form with the Alabama Secretary of State. Only the candidates of officially recognized political parties can participate in the state primary election. All other candidates run in the general election.[4][5][6][7]

Political party candidates

All candidates seeking a party nomination for a non-county office (such as a federal, state, or state legislative office) must file a declaration of candidacy with the state party chair by 5:00 p.m. 116 days before the date of the primary. The state party chair must then certify the names of primary election candidates with the Alabama Secretary of State no later than 5 p.m. 82 days before the primary election. Candidates seeking a party nomination for a county office must file a declaration with the county party chair no later than 5:00 p.m. 116 days before the primary.[8][9][10]

A party candidate must pay a party filing fee. These fees are established by the parties.[11]

Minor party candidates

A minor party candidate is nominated at party meetings or conventions. Such meetings must be held before the primary election. The minor party must file certificates of nomination for each nominated candidate seeking a state or federal office with the Alabama Secretary of State. For county candidates, the certificate of nomination must be filed with the local Judge of Probate. These certificates are due on the day of the primary election.[12][13][14]

Independent candidates

An independent candidate must file a petition with the Alabama Secretary of State. The petition must contain the signatures of registered voters equal to at least 3 percent of the total vote cast for governor in the applicable electoral district in the last general election.[15][14]

This petition must be filed by 5 p.m. on the day of the primary election. A candidate cannot run as an independent if he or she ran in the primary election in the same year.[14][15]

Write-in candidates

There are no filing requirements for write-in candidates in Alabama.[16]

Qualifications

See also: State legislature candidate requirements by state

Members of the House must be 21 at the time of their election, must be citizens and residents of the State of Alabama for at least 3 years and residents of their district at least one year prior to election.[17]

Footnotes

  1. Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
  2. McMillan did not seek re-election and died after the filing deadline.
  3. Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
