Election 2018

Georgia Election Results

Voters in Georgia will elect representatives for 14 House seats, four of which are held by Democrats and 10 by Republicans. They will also choose a governor, an office currently held by a Republican. Georgia races advance to a runoff if no candidate receives 50 percent of the vote. The runoff date for the governor’s race would be Dec. 4, and the runoff for House races would be Jan. 8. See Georgia’s primary results.

House

In one the year's highest-profile races, former state House minority leader Stacey Abrams (D) is taking on Brian Kemp (R) to replace term-limited Gov. Nathan Deal (R). Kemp received just 26 percent of the vote in the initial Republican primary, but advanced to a runoff and easily won it after President Trump endorsed him.

In his current role as secretary of state, Kemp has purged voter rolls and tightened voting restrictions in the months leading up to the election. If Abrams wins, she would be the country’s first black female governor.
