The proposed amendment to Section 160 of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022 seeks to ensure that the compensation of district attorneys cannot be reduced during their term of office. The amendment modifies the existing language by replacing "such" with "the" and "his" with "the" to enhance clarity. It also introduces new provisions stating that the compensation "shall not be diminished during his or her official term," thereby providing additional protection for district attorneys' salaries.
The amendment will be presented to voters during the statewide primary election on May 26, 2026. If approved by a majority of qualified electors, it will become part of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022. The ballot will include a description of the amendment, allowing voters to express their support or opposition with a "Yes" or "No" option.
