SUMMARY:August 11th Special Primary Election
DESCRIPTION:CALLING ALL DEMOCRATS! \nGet ready\, and mark your calendars! August 11 we go back to the polls. This will be the 3rd Primary election for Chilton County. If you didn’t vote previously PLEASE MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE. Exercise your right to vote. There are 4 democrats and 2 republicans running for District 6. \nGot questions? We did too. We did some digging and found some answers at Alarise.org:. \n1. What’s happening with special elections for Congress? Do I have to vote again?  \nAlabama is redoing primary elections for U.S. House Districts 1\, 2\, 6 and 7. This means if you live in all of south Alabama and large parts of central Alabama\, including most of metropolitan Birmingham\, Montgomery\, Mobile\, Dothan and the Black Belt\, the votes cast in those U.S. House primary races on May 19 were voided. New special primary elections to select major party candidates are scheduled for Tuesday\, Aug. 11. \nThis new congressional map will go into effect for the special primary elections scheduled for Tuesday\, Aug. 11: \n\nAbove: The new district lines for Congressional Districts 1\, 2\, 6 and 7 will go into effect for the Aug. 11\, 2026\, special primaries and the Nov. 3\, 2026\, general election. \n2. Who will appear on the ballot for the congressional special primaries in August? \nThe special primary election will be to select the parties’ nominees for the November ballot. So it’s important to keep in mind that not every race will have a contested primary\, even if the primary race has to be redone. If only one candidate from the party qualified for the race\, there will be no special primary for that party. \n\nCongressional District 6: Voters in Chilton County will have two candidates on the Aug. 11 Republican primary ballot: Case Dixon and incumbent U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer. This district’s voters will have four candidates on the Aug. 11 Democratic primary ballot: Jacob Bouma-Sims\, Ashtyn Kennedy\, Maurice Mercer and Keith Pilkington.\n\nAlabama’s 6th Congressional District election\, 2026 \nBallotpedia.org Information Page:\nAlabama’s 6th Congressional District election\, 2026 \nCandidates: \n \nJacob Bouma-Sims \nOfficial Campaign Website\nBallotpedia Profile Page \n \nAshtyn Kennedy \nCampaign Website\nBallotpedia Profile Page \n \nMaurice Mercer \nCampaign Website\nBallotpedia Profile Page \n \nKeith Pilkington \nCampaign Website\nBallotpedia Profile Page \n4. How does this impact the votes already cast in the May 11 primary elections? \nThe August special election will be a redo for only the four U.S. House races and two state Senate primary races mentioned above. Votes previously cast for candidates in those districts will be void\, and any runoffs that were set to occur as a result of those primaries will not occur. \n5. Why is this happening?  \nRepublican leaders in Alabama are following the lead of President Trump and several Republican-controlled states by taking the unprecedented step of redistricting in the middle of an election cycle\, redrawing maps to benefit Republican candidates. This was done in response to a Supreme Court decision\, Louisiana v. Callais\, issued on April 29\, 2026. That 6-3 ruling changed the legal interpretation of the Voting Rights Act\, removing some of the key legal protections in place to protect voting power for Black and Hispanic voters. Redistricting is another term for REDLINING. \nChris Pringle- R (Mobile) spoke out in Montgomery saying admitting that district 6 is a PURPLE district: \n“They will retaliate\, you do know that right? Gary Palmer is our most conservative member and they’ll replace him. Do you want to lose Gary Palmer?”  \n– Chris Pringle- original sponsor of 2023 map \nActions To Take: \n\nCheck AlabamaVotes.gov to make sure your voter registration and polling place information are correct.\nText or call 10 friends and family members and make sure they are registered to vote and understand what’s on the ballot this summer.\n\nMore information on the Alabama’s 6th Congressional District election\, 2026 from Ballotpedia.org \nSample Ballot\n \n \nVoting Rights Information \nElection Protection: Know your Rights as a Voter\n(From Vote.org) \nVoting Rights Information\n(From ACLU.org) \nGeneral Voting Information/Alabama\nAlabama: Election Tools\, Deadlines\, Dates\, Rules\, and Links\n(From Vote.org)\nFind Your Polling Place:\nPolling Place Search

SUMMARY:August 20th\, 2026 General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:At the last General Meeting on August 6th\, given the extreme importance of preparing for the critically important upcoming November 2026 Midterm Elections and getting the vote out\, it was determined and decided that it is important to hold two general meetings a month\, at least through the midterm elections. \nWith that in mind\, we are pleased to announce that the next Chilton County Democratic Party Meeting will be held THIS THURSDAY\, AUGUST 20TH AT 6 P.M.  \nNEW LOCATION FOR THE SECOND GENERAL MEETING WILL BE: \nTRINITY EPISCOPAL CHURCH \n \n503 Second Avenue South (it is the church next to Great Commission Christian Center where we have been meeting) \nHOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
