Overview
- Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger set the contest for May 19 in Gwinnett County, with a June 16 runoff if no candidate tops 50 percent.
- The race falls on the same day as Georgia’s General Primary, so the usual party primaries do not take place.
- The seat became vacant after Sen. Nabilah Parkes resigned on March 16 to run for lieutenant governor.
- Candidate qualifying runs March 26, 27 and 30 at the state Elections Division in Atlanta, with a $400 fee.
- Voters must register by April 20, and advance in-person absentee voting begins April 27, with district and status checks available on the state’s My Voter Page.
