Alabama SB271 proposes a constitutional amendment to ensure the Lieutenant Governor's office is filled by election if vacant before a general.

Alabama SB271 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 2022, ensuring that if the Lieutenant Governor's office becomes vacant more than 60 days before a general election, a Lieutenant Governor will be elected at that election for the unexpired term. This change aims to maintain continuity in the office of Lieutenant Governor by requiring an election rather than leaving the position vacant. The amendment will be subject to a vote by the qualified electors, and if approved, it will become part of the Alabama Constitution.
