Outstanding news!

Gov. Kay Ivey amended Alabama’s plans for an August special congressional election as efforts to redistrict appear tied up in court.

On June 2, Ivey amended the Aug. 11 special primary election and asked parties to reopen qualifying.

Alabama’s efforts to use new congressional maps are still awaiting a Supreme Court decision as of Tuesday morning. Until a ruling occurs, the state will move forward with its 2024 court-ordered voting maps, Ivey said.

Alabama’s Republican legislative leadership has recommended six candidates to Governor Kay Ivey for two seats on a restructured Alabama Public Service Commission, formally beginning the appointment process created under this year’s sweeping utility-regulation law, which is intended to expand the voting public’s choice and reduce the cost and burden of utilities for households and businesses across the state.

In two letters dated June 1, 2026, and addressed to the governor, Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth, Senate President Pro Tempore Garlan Gudger (R-Cullman) and Speaker of the House Nathaniel Ledbetter (R-Rainsville) put forward three candidates for a two-year commissioner term and three for a four-year term.

The recommendations are among the first concrete steps in implementing the Power to the People Act, passed overwhelmingly by lawmakers and signed by Ivey earlier this year.

The law expands the PSC from three members to seven, creates a cabinet-level Secretary of Energy to oversee the commission, freezes utility base rates through January 2029, and ultimately moves to commissioners elected by congressional district.
