The 2022 Democratic and Republican Primary Election will be held on Tuesday, May 24. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for voters to cast ballots.

In this year’s primary, all state as well as some federal and county level offices will be up for election.

Pike County Probate Judge Michael Bunn recently spoke to the Troy Exchange Club and said because this is a primary election, candidates will not appear on the ballot if they have no opposition from their party. As an example, Bunn used Marcus Paramore, who is running for House of Representatives District 89. Paramore is unchallenged in the Republican Primary, so his name will not appear on the ballot.

One U.S. Senate seat is up for election and all seven seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are up for elections.

At the state level, the following races will be on the ballot: governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, auditor, secretary of state, treasurer, commissioner of agriculture and industries, Alabama state senate, Alabama state house, Alabama Supreme Court justices for Places 5 and 6, Public Service Commission, Places 1 and 2, State Board of Education, Districts 2, 4, 6, and 8, and various circuit court and district court judges.
