What to know about Georgia’s primary elections
Georgia's primary elections on May 19 feature high-stakes races for governor, Senate, and House seats, with the state remaining a key political battleground. The elections occur amid national debates over redistricting and voting rights, and Georgia's majority-vote requirement could trigger runoffs on June 16. Voters can participate regardless of party affiliation, with early voting available from April 27 to May 15.
