While the race for president is getting much of the attention in the 2024 election cycle, Georgia voters will also be electing officials for local, state, and federal office this year. Some of those races were decided in the May 21 primary, while others will be decided in November.
This year’s election does not include the high-profile statewide offices, such as governor, lieutenant governor, or secretary of state, as those positions were all elected in 2022, and won’t be up for election again until 2026. Also, neither of Georgia’s two U.S. Senators, Jon Ossoff or Raphael Warnock, are up for election this year.
