Elections
2016
A special election for the position of Alabama House of Representatives District 79 was scheduled for November 29. The special election was canceled by the secretary of state after only one candidate was on the ballot following the primary election. A primary election took place on September 13. The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was July 14. All third-party candidates had until September 13 to file.[1]
The seat was vacant following Mike Hubbard's (R) conviction on June 10, 2016, of 12 felony ethics violations.[2]
Joe Lovvorn defeated Jay Conner, Brett Smith, and Sandy Toomer in the Republican primary.[3][4] Lovvorn was declared the winner of the special election after Libertarian candidate Gage Fenwick failed to submit the required number of signatures needed to appear on the ballot. Secretary of State John Merrill canceled the special general election since Lovvorn was the only one still left on the ballot.[5]
