The ALGOP added support for a closed primary system to its party platform Saturday as the Alabama Republican Party State Executive Committee gathered for its 2026 Summer Meeting in Montgomery. Alabama does not register voters by political party. The committee also approved a resolution honoring former ALGOP Chairman John Wahl for his leadership and contributions to the state party. “The decisions made by our SEC this weekend reflect our continued commitment to conservative principles, election integrity, and building an even stronger Republican Party,” he added. The summer meeting followed the party’s America 250 Celebration and Summer Dinner on Friday night, which the ALGOP said drew more than 1,200 attendees.
