Overview
- Georgia set a new primary early-vote record Friday, with 906,627 ballots cast before Election Day, according to the Secretary of State’s data hub.
- Election Day is Tuesday, May 19, with polls open statewide from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and voters must use their assigned precinct with a valid photo ID.
- The ballot features an open governor’s race in both parties and a Republican primary to pick a challenger for Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.
- Georgia requires more than 50% to win a primary, so any race without a majority advances to a June 16 runoff between the top two finishers.
- Voters can find their polling place and a personalized sample ballot through the Georgia Secretary of State’s My Voter Page or by contacting their county election office.
