MONTGOMERY — Governor Kay Ivey on Monday signed a proclamation to set special election dates for Alabama House District 10. This seat was previously held by David Cole, who resigned August 30, 2023, and signed a plea agreement providing that he knowingly voted at a polling place where he was not authorized to vote.

“The people in House District 10 deserve to be fully represented in the legislative process, and by calling this special election, we will ensure that to be the case. Those in public office must be held accountable and to the highest standard,” said Governor Ivey. “I encourage everyone in this district to get out and vote during this special election to ensure you have a strong voice advocating for you in the Alabama Legislature.”
