Huntsville mayor Tommy Battle ran unopposed and was declared the winner by the Huntsville City Council on June 27, 2024. This was done because according to state law, "a City Council shall declare an unopposed municipal candidate as the winner, upon proper certification." According to the city, this saves resources and taxpayer dollars because polls do not have to open in unaffected precincts.
