Montgomery releases final candidate list for District 3 special election
The City of Montgomery has released the final list of qualified candidates for the special election to fill the vacant City Council District 3 seat, setting the ballot field ahead of a Sept. 1, 2026, vote.
The city announced the development July 24. It said the released slate is the final list of candidates who will appear on the ballot for the District 3 special election.
The election is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. It is a special election for one vacant council seat, rather than a regular citywide municipal election.
What the announcement confirms
The city said it had received the final list of qualified candidates for the vacant District 3 seat. The announcement establishes that the candidate-qualification stage reflected in the city’s notice has concluded and identifies Sept. 1 as the scheduled election date.
For District 3 voters, the vote will determine representation on the Montgomery City Council. The finalized field gives the district a defined period leading to the special election, with the ballot slate now set according to the city’s announcement.
The update comes from the City of Montgomery as an official municipal election announcement. It is not a claim issued by a candidate or campaign.
What is not established in the available material
The source material supplied for this report does not include the individual names on the final candidate list. This report therefore does not identify candidates or provide descriptions of their campaigns.
The available material also does not establish why the District 3 seat is vacant. The vacancy is confirmed by the city’s announcement, but its cause is not stated in the source packet.
There is no information in the supplied material to support a prediction about turnout, voter preferences or the election’s outcome. The final list indicates which candidates are qualified to appear on the ballot; it does not establish how District 3 voters will cast their ballots.
Next known step
The next confirmed date is Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026, when the District 3 special election is scheduled to take place. The city’s news index also lists the candidate announcement and confirms the Sept. 1 election date.
District 3 is the only council district addressed in this announcement. The city’s notice concerns the vacant District 3 position and the final candidate slate for that contest.
