Voters in Alabama's 2nd Congressional District will participate in a runoff election to select the nominees for the U.S. House contest. The outcome of this election could impact the control of the chamber in November.

FILE - A voter enters Tuscaloosa County Ward 5, Montgomery Fire Department, to vote during a primary election, March 5, 2024, in Northport, Ala. Voters in a new Alabama congressional district at the center of an ongoing legal and political dispute will return to the polls Tuesday, April 16, 2024, to select the nominees in a U.S. House contest that could help decide control of the narrowly divided chamber this November.

On the Republican side, Brewbaker placed first on March 5 with 37% of the vote, compared to 25% for Dobson. His showing in the primary was largely due to his overwhelming win in Montgomery, where he had 66% of the vote to Dobson’s 22%. Neither candidate carried Mobile in the primary, although Dobson edged Brewbaker there for second place, 27.0% to 26.5%. To overtake Brewbaker, Dobson likely will have to win over the bulk of the 35% of Mobile voters who cast their primary ballots for state Sen.
