Two states recently revised their election calendars: Alabama scheduled special primary elections this year for four congressional districts, and New Hampshire moved its statewide and congressional primaries to June beginning in 2028.
On May 12, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) announced that special primaries will happen on Aug. 11 for four of the state's seven congressional districts. Primaries for the three other congressional districts, which are unchanged under the new maps, will remain on May 19.
The special primaries will take place for voters in Alabama's 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th congressional districts. The filing deadline for major party candidates is May 22, and the filing deadline for independent and minor party candidates is Aug. 11.
