This December there is a special election for a Senate seat in Alabama which became vacant when incumbent United States Senator Jeff Sessions resigned from the Senate to serve as United States Attorney General on February 8, 2017. Luther Strange, the Attorney general of Alabama filled the seat at Governor Robert J. Bentley’s request until a special election would take place. The special election was scheduled for 2018, but when Governor Bentley resigned in April 2017, the election was rescheduled. Primaries took place in August and September, with Doug Jones winning the Democratic nomination and Roy Moore defeating Luther Strange in the Republican primary.
The general election is scheduled for December 12, 2017.
