On Tuesday, Governor Kay Ivey set special election dates for Alabama House District 12, previously held by former State Rep. Corey Harbison, who resigned earlier this month.

The special primary election is set for Tuesday, July 15, 2025. If necessary, a special primary runoff will be held Tuesday, August 12, 2025. The special general election will be held on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.

“Representative Corey Harbison has been a pleasure to work with and served the people of District 12 well. I thank him for his continued service to our state,” Governor Ivey said. “This special election is an important opportunity to help shape the future of your community – so, if you are in House District 12, make sure to get out and vote.”

The deadline for qualifying with parties will be Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at 5:00 p.m.

Nearby House District 11 will also elect a new representative in the coming weeks on May 13 after former State Rep. Randall Shedd resigned his seat earlier this year.
