Alabama elected officials and residents have an average difference of 26.8 years, a new study found.

Alabama’s governor and congresspeople have an average age of 66.6, while the average age of residents is 39.8 years old. Coventry Direct, a life insurance company, compiled a list of governors and members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and compared their ages to the average age of residents, based on census data.

According to census data, only 17.6% of Alabama residents are older than 65, though 38.6% of votes cast in the 2020 general election came from Alabamians 60 and older.

Gov. Kay Ivey is 78 years old, a full decade younger than 88-year-old Sen. Richard Shelby (R), whose seat is on the ballot this year. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R) and Reps. Mo Brooks (R) and Gary Palmer (R) are all 68. Only three officials are under 60 — Rep. Barry Moore (R) is 54, and Reps. Robert Aderholt (R) and Terri Sewell (D) are both 57.

The three candidates for Shelby’s seat, open due to his upcoming retirement, are Republican candidate Katie Britt, 40, Democratic candidate Will Boyd, 42, and Libertarian candidate John Sophocleus, 60. Shelby is 48 years older than Britt and 46 years older than Boyd.

Notably, while Alabama has a younger population on average than it does elected leaders, residents between the ages of 50-69 cast the greatest number of votes during the 2020 general election, according to state election data. Residents between 18-49 years old cast 42.9% of the vote.

Midterm elections are Nov. 8. Sample ballots can be found here.
