The 2017 United States Senate special election in Alabama took place on December 12, 2017, to fill a vacancy in the U.S. Senate through the end of the term ending on January 3, 2021. The vacancy arose from Jeff Sessions' resignation, on February 8, 2017, to serve as the 84th United States attorney general. This was the first open Senate seat in the state since 1996, when Sessions was elected for his first term. Democratic candidate Doug Jones defeated Republican candidate Roy Moore by a margin of 21,924 votes (1.63%). Jones became the first Democrat to win a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama since 1992.

  • The 2017 United States Senate special election in Alabama took place on December 12, 2017, to fill a vacancy in the U.S. Senate through the end of the term ending on January 3, 2021. The vacancy arose from Jeff Sessions' resignation, on February 8, 2017, to serve as the 84th United States attorney general. This was the first open Senate seat in the state since 1996, when Sessions was elected for his first term. Democratic candidate Doug Jones defeated Republican candidate Roy Moore by a margin of 21,924 votes (1.63%). Jones became the first Democrat to win a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama since 1992. On February 9, 2017, Governor Robert J. Bentley appointed Luther Strange, the attorney general of Alabama, to fill the vacancy until a special election could take place. Bentley controversially scheduled the special election to align with the 2018 general election instead of sooner. When Kay Ivey succeeded Bentley as governor, she rescheduled the special election for December 12, 2017. Jones, a former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, won the Democratic primary election. Moore, a former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, competed with Strange and U.S. Representative Mo Brooks in the August 15, 2017 Republican primary; the two highest vote-getters, Moore and Strange, advanced to a runoff. President Donald Trump supported Strange during the primary runoff, in addition to much of the Republican establishment in the Senate, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who made the success of Strange's candidacy a major priority. Trump's efforts on behalf of Strange included tweeting and a rally in Huntsville, Alabama. Vice President Mike Pence campaigned for Strange as well. With McConnell's help, Strange outspent Moore by a margin of 10-to-1. However, Moore won the primary runoff on September 26, 2017. This was the first time that an incumbent U.S. senator having active White House support lost a primary since Arlen Specter lost to Joe Sestak in 2010. In mid-November 2017, multiple women alleged that Moore had made unwanted advances or sexual assaults on them when he was in his early thirties and they were in their teens (the youngest was 14 at the time), attracting widespread national media coverage of the election. As a result of these allegations, many national Republican leaders and office holders called for Moore to withdraw from the special election or rescinded their endorsements of him. However, Donald Trump and many Alabama Republicans reaffirmed their support. At the time of the revelations, it was too late to remove his name from the ballot. Many Republican leaders proposed shifting their support to a write-in candidate such as Strange. Moore has stated that he never engaged in sexual misconduct, although he has not denied that he approached or dated teenagers over the age of 16 while he was in his 30s (sixteen is the legal age of consent in Alabama). In late November, retired Marine Colonel Lee Busby launched a write-in campaign. At 9:23 p.m. CST, the Associated Press called the election for Jones, though Moore refused to concede. Jones was the first Democratic candidate to win a statewide election in Alabama since former Lieutenant Governor Lucy Baxley was elected president of the Alabama Public Service Commission in 2008. Jones was sworn into office on January 3, 2018, becoming the first Democratic U.S. senator from Alabama since Howell Heflin's retirement in 1997. As of 2022, this is the most recent special election to the U.S. Senate that did not take place simultaneously with a round of regularly scheduled elections and the last time a Democrat won statewide office in Alabama.

  • Die außerordentliche Senatswahl in Alabama am 12. Dezember 2017 bestimmte den Nachfolger des US-Justizministers Jeff Sessions in seinem früheren Mandat im Senat der Vereinigten Staaten für den Bundesstaat Alabama. Für die Republikaner trat der frühere Richter Roy Moore, für die Demokraten der frühere Staatsanwalt Doug Jones an. Nachdem Vorwürfe öffentlich geworden waren, dass Moore um das Jahr 1980 herum Minderjährige belästigt habe, galt das Rennen als völlig offen. Jones setzte sich mit wenigen zehntausend Stimmen Unterschied gegen Moore durch. (de)
  • El 12 de diciembre de 2017 se llevó a cabo una elección especial del Senado de los Estados Unidos en el estado de Alabama, para llenar una vacante en el Senado hasta el final del período que termina el 3 de enero de 2021, surgida a partir de la renuncia de Jeff Sessions el 8 de febrero de 2017 para desempeñarse como fiscal general. Doug Jones venció al candidato republicano Roy Moore por un margen menor al 2%. Jones es el primer demócrata en ganar un escaño en el Senado en representación de Alabama desde 1992. El 9 de febrero de 2017, el gobernador Robert J. Bentley designó a Luther Strange, el fiscal general de Alabama, para llenar la vacante hasta poder realizar la elección especial. Jones, exfiscal para el Distrito Norte de Alabama, triunfó en las internas demócratas, mientras que Moore, un exjuez presidente de la Corte Suprema de Alabama, triunfó en las internas republicanas, derrotando a Strange en la primera vuelta.​ Más tarde en noviembre, el marine retirado Lee Busby lanzó una campaña como candidato agregado.​ A mediados de noviembre, varias mujeres alegaron haber sido víctimas de avances indeseados o de abuso sexual por parte de Moore, siendo ellas adolescentes (la más joven tenía 14 años en ese momento) y estando él en sus treinta.​​ Como resultado de estas alegaciones, varios líderes republicanos y autoridades a nivel nacional llamaron a Moore a bajarse de la elección especial o retiraron su aprobación.​​​ Sin embargo, Donald Trump y varios republicanos de Alabama reafirmaron su apoyo.​ Al momento de las revelaciones, era ya demasiado tarde para retirar su nombre de las papeletas de votación. Muchos líderes republicanos propusieron cambiar su apoyo a un candidato agregado, tal como Strange.​ Moore ha afirmado que nunca tuvo una conducta sexual inadecuada, pese a no haber negado que se acercaba o mantenía relaciones con adolescentes mayores de 16 años estando en sus treinta. 16 años es la edad legal de consentimiento en Alabama.​​ A las 9:23 p. m. CST, The Associated Press declaró a Jones ganador de la elección, aunque Moore se ha negado a reconocer la derrota.​​ Una vez que la victoria sea certificada, Jones se volverá el primer candidato demócrata en ganar un escaño abierto en una elección estatal en Alabama desde la elección de la exvicegobernadora Lucy Baxley como Presidente de la Comisión de Servicio Público de Alabama en 2008.​ (es)
  • Pemilihan umum istimewa Senat Amerika Serikat di Alabama berlangsung pada tanggal 12 Desember 2017 untuk mengisi kekosongan kursi senator di Alabama setelah Jeff Sessions mengundurkan diri pada tanggal 8 Februari 2017 karena ia telah diangkat sebagai Jaksa Agung Amerika Serikat. Pada tanggal 9 Februari 2017, Robert J. Bentley menugaskan Luther Strange untuk mengisi kekosongan ini hingga pemilu dapat diadakan. Bentley awalnya ingin mengadakannya bersamaan dengan untuk menghemat biaya. Setelah Kay Ivey menggantikan Bentley sebagai gubernur, ia menjadwalkan pemilu ini pada tanggal 12 Desember 2017. Mantan pengacara dan jaksa Amerika Serikat Doug Jones berhasil memenangkan konvensi Partai Demokrat, sementara Roy Moore yang merupakan mantan ketua hakim menghadapi Luther Strange pada putaran kedua konvensi Partai Republik. Pada awalnya Presiden Donald Trump mendukung Luther Strange dan hampir semua anggota Partai Republik di tingkat nasional ingin agar Luther Strange menang. Namun, Moore berhasil memenangkan konvensi Partai Republik pada September 2017. Pada pertengahan bulan November, beberapa perempuan menyatakan bahwa Moore telah melakukan tindakan asusila terhadap mereka saat Moore masih berumur tiga puluhan dan mereka masih remaja (yang paling muda berumur 14 tahun). Akibatnya, banyak petinggi Partai Republik yang meminta Moore untuk mundur atau mencabut dukungan mereka terhadap Moore. Namun, Moore masih didukung oleh Donald Trump dan banyak anggota partai Republik di Alabama. Pada saat informasi ini dibongkar, namanya sudah tidak dapat dikeluarkan dari surat suara. Banyak petinggi Partai Republik yang mengusulkan untuk menulis nama calon lain, seperti Luther Strange. Moore sendiri menyatakan bahwa ia tidak pernah melakukan tindakan asusila, walaupun ia tidak menampik bahwa ia pernah mendekati atau berkencan dengan remaja yang berumur di atas 16 tahun saat ia masih berusia 30-an. Pada akhirnya Jones berhasil memenangkan pemilu ini dengan perbedaan suara yang tipis, yaitu sekitar 21.924 suara (1.7%). Ia adalah calon dari Partai Demokrat pertama yang berhasil memenangkan pemilu senat di Alabama semenjak tahun 1992. Jones mulai menjabat pada tanggal 3 Januari 2018. (in)

  • Die außerordentliche Senatswahl in Alabama am 12. Dezember 2017 bestimmte den Nachfolger des US-Justizministers Jeff Sessions in seinem früheren Mandat im Senat der Vereinigten Staaten für den Bundesstaat Alabama. Für die Republikaner trat der frühere Richter Roy Moore, für die Demokraten der frühere Staatsanwalt Doug Jones an. Nachdem Vorwürfe öffentlich geworden waren, dass Moore um das Jahr 1980 herum Minderjährige belästigt habe, galt das Rennen als völlig offen. Jones setzte sich mit wenigen zehntausend Stimmen Unterschied gegen Moore durch. (de)

This was the first open Senate seat in the state since 1996, when Sessions was elected for his first term. Democratic candidate Doug Jones defeated Republican candidate Roy Moore by a margin of 21,924 votes (1.63%). Jones became the first Democrat to win a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama since 1992. (en)
