The 2022 general election, a mid-term election in which the offices of president and vice-president were not contested, was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.

In contested races, winners of the 2022 party primaries faced off in the general election. The ballot also included nominees selected without a primary, and independent candidates. For the first time since 2002, the Libertarian Party of Alabama qualified candidates for the statewide ballot by submitting petitions with signatures of more than 3% of the state's qualified voters.

According to the Alabama Secretary of State, Alabama had 3,687,753 total registered voters and 3,280,260 "active registered voters" at the time of the election. 1,419,718 ballots were cast, for a turnout rate of 38.5%.

Election day was marked by unseasonably warm weather under clear skies. The Birmingham On-Demand rideshare service offered free rides to polling places within its service area.
