2002 Alabama gubernatorial election
The 2002 Alabama gubernatorial election was held on November 5. With 669,105 votes or 48.95%, incumbent Democrat Don Siegelman lost re-election to Republican Bob Riley (who received 672,225 votes or 49.17%), a margin of 3,120 votes or 0.22%. The close and controversial election was marked by high turnout. This was the third consecutive Alabama gubernatorial election where the incumbent was defeated. Riley was sworn in on January 20, 2003, marking what is to date the last time the Alabama governor's office changed partisan control. Primary elections were held on June 4. Both nominees faced less opposition than expected. Siegelman ran for governor of Alabama again in 2006, and lost the Democratic primary.
