阿拉巴马州将于周二举行第1、2、6、7众议院选区的特殊初选[1]。这次初选原定于5月19日进行，但被共和党州长凯·艾维推迟至今[1]。新选区地图由共和党支持，将在2027年1月生效，这是在美国最高法院裁决后共和党主导的选区重划结果[1]。
新地图消除了该州两个非裔占多数的选区之一，旨在帮助共和党在2026年中期选举中保持众议院的微弱多数[1]。在第2选区，黑人人口比例将从现有地图的50%降至新地图的约40%[1]。按照新选区划分，特朗普将在该州以57%对42%领先，而在现有地图下，卡玛拉·哈里斯曾以53%对46%击败特朗普[1]。两位民主党众议员在重新划分的选区中寻求连任[1]。
截至6月1日，阿拉巴马州有380万登记选民[1]。投票站将在美国东部标准时间晚上8点关闭[1]。
Alabama is conducting primary elections Tuesday across four House districts following a Republican-backed redistricting effort, the result of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prompted the state to redraw its congressional map [1]. The new district boundaries, set to take effect in January 2027, are designed to strengthen Republican control ahead of the 2026 midterm elections [1].
The primary contests were originally scheduled for May 19 but were postponed by Republican Governor Kay Ivey to the current date [1]. The redistricting has eliminated one of Alabama's two majority-Black districts [1]. Under the redrawn map, the Black voting-age population in District 2 will decline from approximately 50% to roughly 40% compared to the existing map [1]. According to performance projections, the new boundaries would shift electoral outcomes—former President Trump would win statewide by 57% to 42% under the new map, compared to Vice President Kamala Harris winning 53% to 46% under the current map [1]. Two Democratic House members are seeking reelection in the newly configured districts [1].
Alabama has approximately 3.8 million registered voters as of June 1 [1]. Polls will close at 8 p.m. Eastern time [1].
