ALABAMA, GEORGIA, IDAHO, KENTUCKY, OREGON, PENNSYLVANIA — Voters in six states will cast ballots Tuesday, May 19, in primary elections to select major party nominees for federal and statewide offices. Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Oregon and Pennsylvania are holding the contests, with results compiled by the Associated Press.

Alabama's primary will decide Republican and Democratic candidates for governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, lieutenant governor, attorney general and secretary of state. Republican U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville, a former Auburn football coach, is running for governor to replace Kay Ivey, who is retiring after becoming the longest-serving woman governor in U.S. history. Former U.S. Senator Doug Jones is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor. In 2020, Tuberville defeated Jones by about 20 percentage points to win his Senate seat. Jones's 2018 special-election victory was the last time a Democratic candidate won a statewide election in Alabama, and the last time a Democrat won the governorship was 1998.

Tuberville's gubernatorial bid has opened his U.S. Senate seat. Candidates include U.S. Representative Barry Moore, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, who has held the post since 2017, and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have endorsed Moore. Democratic Senate candidates include Kyle Sweetser, a former Republican who spoke against Trump at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, along with Dakarai Larriet, Mark Wheeler II and Everett Weiss.

Alabama allows open primary voting, permitting independents to vote in either party's primary by opting in at the voting booth. Candidates must secure at least 50% of the vote to avoid a June 16 runoff between the top two finishers. Polls close at 7 p.m. Central Time.

Georgia's primary will decide nominees for governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state and state Supreme Court. Governor Brian Kemp is term-limited. Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who has been endorsed by former President Joe Biden, faces a Democratic field that includes former DeKalb County CEO Mike Thurmond, former state Senator Jason Esteves and former Republican Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan, who switched parties a year after endorsing Kamala Harris for president. Bottoms could become the first Black woman to serve as governor of a U.S. state.

Trump has endorsed Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones in the Republican gubernatorial primary. Brad Raffensperger has served as Georgia secretary of state since 2019 and refused calls by Trump in 2021 to try to undermine the 2020 presidential election results after Biden won the state by about 12,000 votes. Republican U.S. Senate candidates include U.S. Representatives Buddy Carter and Mike Collins and former University of Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley. A special election in Georgia's 13th congressional district was triggered by the death of Representative David Scott in April. Scott's name will appear on the ballot. Candidates seeking to replace him include State Senator Emanuel Jones, State Representative Jasmine Clark and dentist Heavenly Kimes. Polls close at 7 p.m. Eastern Time.

Idaho's primary will decide nominees for governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, lieutenant governor, attorney general and secretary of state. Republican Governor Brad Little is running for a third term. Democratic candidates for governor include Maxine Durand, Jill Kirkham, Terri Pickens and Chanelle Torrez. Republican Jim Risch is seeking his party's nomination for a fourth term in the U.S. Senate. The last time Idaho elected a Democrat as governor was 1990.
