MONTGOMERY – On January 1, 2016, a vacancy occurred in the office of Circuit Judge, Place 5, of the 13th Judicial Circuit (Mobile County). Pursuant to Amendment 408, this seat will be up for election in the General Election to be held on November 8, 2016.
Due to the vacancy being created after qualifying closed for this year’s primary elections, and since Amendment 408 does not provide an alternative method for nominating candidates for the applicable general election for this seat, Secretary of State John Merrill has established the following administrative deadlines for nominating candidates for this seat:
• Each major political party (i.e., the Alabama Democratic Party and the Alabama Republican Party) interested in nominating a candidate for this seat shall file the name of its certified candidate with the Secretary of State’s Office not later than noon on Wednesday, April 27, 2016.
