Governor Ivey signed a proclamation on Monday to set special election dates for Alabama House District 63. This seat was previously held by Rep. Cynthia Lee Almond, whom Ivey recently appointed as the president of the Public Service Commission. The governor swore in Almond on Monday morning.

Ivey set the special primary election for Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025; the special primary runoff, if necessary, for Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025; and the special general election for Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026.

“Representative Cynthia Almond has served the people of House District 63 with integrity and purpose, and while her presence in the Legislature will be missed, I know her leadership will continue to shine as she steps into this vital statewide role,” Ivey said. “Although Representative Almond leaves big shoes to fill, I am confident that House District 63 will continue to showcase strong leadership and representation in Alabama. I encourage everyone in the district to make their vote count.”

The deadline for qualifying with major political parties will be Monday, June 23, 2025, at 5 p.m. The deadline for all independent candidates and minor parties is Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025, at 5 p.m.

House District 63 includes portions of Tuscaloosa County.
