Democratic incumbent Lucy Baxley chose to unsuccessfully run for governor of Alabama rather than seek a second term. The Democratic nominee, Jim Folsom Jr., who had previously served as both governor and lieutenant governor of Alabama, won the election, defeating Republican lawyer Luther Strange by a narrow margin of 1.47 percentage points. As of 2026, this is the last time a Democrat has been elected lieutenant governor of Alabama as well as the last time Alabama elected a governor and lieutenant governor of separate political parties, since this election coincided with Republican Governor Bob Riley's re-election. Democratic primary Folsom was unopposed for the Democratic nomination, so no primary was held.
