Georgia will have a runoff election on June 16 for several primary elections. Early voting is Monday, June 8 – Friday, June 12. No Saturday voting.

If you voted in the primary, you have to vote the same way in the runoff. Those who voted Republican must vote the R ballot. Democrats must vote a D ballot. If you voted nonpartisan, you may choose a ballot.

If you did not vote in the primary, you may vote in the runoff and choose which ballot you want.

To avoid a runoff, one candidate must receive more than 50% of the vote.

If a race is not listed below, one person won outright or had no primary opposition.

Others running for local office did not have opposition.
