Voters in Baldwin and Mobile counties will find a small number races to cast ballots on when they return to the polls Tuesday. A handful of runoffs and an agriculture-related amendment will be presented statewide, while Baldwin's ballot also includes three local Republican runoffs.

A small number of north Mobile County residents will vote in the runoff for Senate Dist. 22, which includes all or part of eight counties. The district covers Escambia County and parts of Clarke, Conecuh, Choctaw, Monroe, Washington, Baldwin and Mobile.

In Baldwin County, the same Senate Dist. 22 contest, the Baldwin County Commission Dist. 2 race and the Baldwin Board of Education Dist. 3 position will be on the ballot.

The three statewide runoffs will determine the GOP nominees for secretary of state, state auditor and the Public Service Commission, Place 2 seat.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Baldwin's sample ballot may be viewed here.

In Mobile, Baldwin and all other Alabama counties, voters will decide the fate of a fee on Alabama's cotton farmers. The Alabama Cotton Producer Assessment Refund Amendment -- titled Amendment 1 on Tuesday's ballot -- would make the cotton industry's existing voluntary check-off program a required payment.

Alabama cotton farmers now pay a fee of $1 into a state program for each bale of cotton sold. That money, according to the Alabama Farmers Federation, is used for cotton research, educational and promotional activities.

Cotton farmers who choose not to participate, however, can request a full refund. Should the amendment pass, it would eliminate the ability for farmers to apply for that refund.

The checkoff program has been in existence since the '70s, when cotton farmers looked to help their industry rebound from losing marketshare to manmade fibers. The program was last renewed in August 2012 and received overwhelming support with 93 percent of voters choosing to continue the program.
