Polls are now closed across Georgia in the runoff election to finish up the state’s 2026 primaries. Any race in the May 19 primary in which no candidate got more than 50 percent of the vote required a runoff.
Republicans faced choices in two high-profile races, to pick the party’s nominees for U.S. Senate and Governor. In addition to those races, voters across the state saw several other state Cabinet races on their ballot. Several U.S. House primaries continued to runoffs, including the Democratic primary in southeast Georgia’s District 1.
Locally, a pair of races in Brantley County required runoffs.
