The bill authorizes a special primary election for State Senate districts in Alabama that are affected by a federal court ruling regarding district boundaries. It stipulates that this special primary election will only occur if a federal court reinstates the last legislatively enacted State Senate districts, as per Act 2021-558, and does so in a timeframe that does not allow for the regular primary election schedule. The Governor is required to call this special primary election and set an election calendar that complies with federal law, ensuring that the election can be completed by August 26, 2026. Notably, the bill specifies that the candidate receiving the most votes in this special primary will be declared the winner without a runoff, and results from any regular primary election will be voided for determining party nominees.

Additionally, the bill allows political parties to select their candidates through means other than a primary election, provided they certify their nominees to the Secretary of State by the same August 26, 2026 deadline. It clarifies that the timing of regular primary elections remains unchanged unless district boundaries are altered as described, and it does not affect the scheduled date for the 2026 General Election. The bill's provisions aim to ensure that candidates are properly qualified and that the election process remains compliant with both state and federal laws.
