The 2024 statewide primary elections were held on Tuesday, March 5, 2024 ("Super Tuesday") to select candidates for the Democratic and Republican Party nominations for a range of county, state and federal offices to be contested in the November general election, including, notably, for the 2nd Congressional District of Alabama which was redrawn by court order to give Black voters an opportunity to elect a Representative.

There were no run-offs for presidential candidates, with each party awarding delegates to their respective national conventions based largely on the primary results, distributed by congressional district. The Alabama Republican Party's 3 appointed statewide delegates are pledged to the overall winner of the state primary. The Alabama Democratic Party has 9 "superdelegates" who can vote as they choose at the party's national convention, regardless of the primary results.

In December 2023, the Alabama Secretary of State notified around 200 candidates across the state that they had not qualified to appear on the primary ballot due to their failure to submit a statement of economic interest form to the Alabama Ethics Commission within five days. The list included 13 Jefferson County Democratic Party candidates. Party chair Wayne Rogers said he would be working to ensure that those issues were resolved in time for a court to return their names to the ballot. Eyrika Parker and Mara Ruffin Allen, both Democratic candidates for Jefferson County Treasurer, claimed that they had met the requirement and filed lawsuits seeking to have their names returned to the ballot.
