Governor Kay Ivey signed a proclamation today to set special election dates for Alabama House District 76. Rep. Thad McClammy previously held this seat.
McClammy, a Democrat from Montgomery, died of natural causes last week. He was 78. He was laid to rest last weekend.
Ivey set the special primary election for Tuesday, November 16, 2021; the special primary runoff, if necessary, for Tuesday, December 14, 2021; and the special general election for Tuesday, March 1, 2022.
“Rep. Thad McClammy, respected by many, was a true statesman and leaves large shoes to fill. I have announced the special election so that the people of Montgomery can continue to be afforded a voice in the Alabama Legislature,” Governor Ivey said. “I encourage the folks in House District 76 to get out and vote during this special election.”
The deadline for qualifying with major political parties will be Tuesday, September 14, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. The deadline for all independent candidates and/or minor parties is Tuesday, November 16, 2021, at 5:00 p.m.
