2026 Georgia Elections FAQ

When is the 2026 Georgia primary election?
The 2026 Georgia primary election is on May 19, 2026.
When is the 2026 Georgia general election?
The 2026 Georgia general election is on Nov 3, 2026.
What races are on the ballot in Georgia in 2026?
Georgia's November 3, 2026 ballot includes governor, one US Senate seat, all 14 US House districts, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, the agriculture, insurance and labor commissioners, state school superintendent, two Public Service Commission seats (Districts 3 and 5), every seat in the Georgia General Assembly, and county and local offices, along with any proposed constitutional amendments and local ballot measures. Georgia's nonpartisan judicial races were decided at the May 19 primary election.
How does Georgia's primary work?
Georgia runs open partisan primaries: voters do not register by party and choose either party's ballot at each primary. Winning a nomination requires a majority of the vote; if no candidate clears 50 percent, the top two finishers advance to a runoff. Georgia held its 2026 primaries on May 19, and runoffs in unresolved races are set for June 16, 2026.
Why is the 2026 Georgia Governor race important?
Georgia's 2026 governor race is an open-seat contest in a closely divided state because Brian Kemp cannot seek a third consecutive term. Democrats nominated former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, while Republicans Burt Jones and Rick Jackson meet in a June 16 runoff. The winner will steer a core battleground heading into the 2028 presidential cycle, and the race draws heavy national attention and prediction-market volume.
