Alabama 's newly redrawn congressional district two will vote for the first time on Tuesday .

A June 2023 ruling by the supreme court created the new district in the Black belt, which spans from the state’s Choctaw county, on its western border, to Russell county , in the east, where Black people make up 48.7% of the population.

Since 1823 , the area has only been represented by white politicians since the 1960s .

Tops is partnering with community volunteers to give people a safe place for their children while they go out and vote.

Organizers are working to ensure that every county in district two has transportation to and from the polls.

The organization’s multipurpose center will have activities for children from the morning until after polling locations close.
