The U.S. Supreme Court has granted Alabama a stay on recent court orders, allowing the state's August 11 Special Primary Election to proceed using the 2023 congressional map drawn by the Alabama Legislature. This decision marks a significant victory for the state in its redistricting battle.
Governor Kay Ivey celebrated the ruling, stating, "The U.S. Supreme Court confirmed what I have said all along and that is that Alabama knows our state, our people and our districts best. Today's decision is a win for the people of Alabama and our elections." She added, "I will see y'all at the polls August 11!"
The ruling ensures that candidates who qualified by May 22 under the 2023 map will be on the ballot for the upcoming special primary. This allows the election process to move forward as initially planned by the state.
