A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Alabama uses an open primary system, in which registered voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party's primary.[1][2][3]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

This page focuses on Alabama's 3rd Congressional District Republican primary. For more in-depth information on the district's Democratic primary and the general election, see the following pages:

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Alabama in 2022. Information below was calculated on April 28, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

In 2022, 22 candidates ran for Alabama’s seven U.S. House districts, including 13 Republicans and eight Democrats. That’s 3.14 candidates per district, less than the 3.57 candidates per district in 2020 and 3.28 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Alabama was apportioned the same number of congressional districts as after the 2010 census.

One district — the 5th — was open, with incumbent Rep. Mo Brooks (R) running for the U.S. Senate. Brooks was first elected in 2010 after defeating Steve Raby (D) 57.9% to 42.1%. The open seat in 2022 was one more than in 2012, the previous post-redistricting election year. There were two open seats in 2020, no open seats in 2018 and 2016, and one open seat in 2014.

There were three contested Democratic primaries and two contested Republican primaries. Five incumbents - four Republicans and one Democrat - didn't face any primary challengers. Two districts — the 1st and the 6th — were guaranteed to Republicans since no Democrats filed for election. There were no districts guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed. Eight candidates — two Democrats and six Republicans — ran in the 5th district, more than in any other.
