Important Cross Over Voting Information for Alabama

“According to Alabama Act 2017-340, Section 2(a), beginning August 1st, 2017, if an elector votes in a primary election, he or she may vote in a subsequent primary runoff election only if he or she voted in the primary election of the same political party for which the runoff election is being held. Persons who did not vote in a primary election may choose either party’s ballot in the subsequent primary runoff election.”

In short, if you vote for one party in the primary, you can ONLY vote for that party in the general election.
If you do not vote at ALL in the primary, you can vote for either party in the general election.

See more detail on this in the 2024 Alabama Voter Guide.
