Campaigns leading up to next Tuesday’s runoff elections may have been quieter than the sexy, top-of-the-ballot races that were in the June elections, but that doesn’t make the outcome any less important.

Up for grabs in this round of voting are Republican nominations for lieutenant governor, attorney general, an associate justiceship on the Supreme Court and judgeships on the state civil and criminal appeal courts.

There are no Democrats running for the Supreme Court Place 1 seat, either courts of appeal, or the agriculture and industries commissioner’s job. That means that whoever wins the Republican nomination in those races is almost assured of winning the office in November.

In Jefferson County, there are only the statewide races still undecided on the Republican side. But there are several county and court races on the Democratic ballot, some in which the winner will have no competition in November.

In this edition of the BirminghamWatch Voter Guide, you will find lists of candidates on the ballot and their profiles, which include basic information about each of the candidates such as the top contributors to their campaigns, the main issues they’re citing in their campaigns and links to their web or social media sites. It also has sample ballots for Jefferson and Shelby counties, which also link to the profiles.

The toolkit has information about the process of voting, what you’ll need at the polls, what to do if you suspect trouble and what the new no crossover voting rule means for the July 17 runoffs.

It’s all in one package on BirminghamWatch. Read more.
