Everything you need to know about the June 16 Georgia runoff elections
Georgia voters will return to the polls on June 16 for a slate of primary runoff elections that will finalize party nominees for key federal, statewide, and legislative offices ahead of November's general election.
Early voting in the runoff runs from June 8 to 12.
More than 2 million of Georgia's 7.3 million active voters turned out for the May primary, though turnout in runoff elections historically lags behind participation compared to what election officials saw last month.
Why the Georgia runoffs matter
This year's election sees some of the state's most powerful positions left without an incumbent in the race. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp is term-limited. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger both left their current positions in the hopes of succeeding the popular governor.
Several high‑profile contests – including the Republican race for U.S. Senate and governor and multiple other statewide executive offices – remain unresolved after the crowded May primaries left candidates short of the majority needed to secure their party's nomination. The outcomes will help shape both parties' strategies as they pivot toward the fall campaign season.
Republicans want to continue their hold on the state's top political positions and take back the U.S. Senate seat that Sen. Jon Ossoff won in 2020. Democrats are hoping to continue the momentum of last year's Public Service Commission elections to win the Georgia governor's office for the first time since 1998.
