Overview

  • Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET for the all-party special election with 17 names on the ballot, and if no candidate wins a majority the top two advance to an April 7 runoff.
  • Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller faces fellow Republican Colton Moore, while Democrat Shawn Harris leads fundraising with about $4.3 million and could reach the runoff if GOP votes split.
  • Roughly 54,000 ballots were cast before Election Day, and early and absentee results are expected to post first, which could initially boost Democratic totals before in-person votes are counted.
  • The outcome will affect the House’s narrow 218–214 GOP edge, and the winner will serve the remainder of Greene’s term before immediately entering May 19 party primaries for the full two-year seat.
  • National attention and outside spending have intensified the race, with Trump rallying in Rome for Fuller and conservative super PACs backing him, framing the contest as a gauge of the president’s influence.
