Georgia Runoff Election Fact Sheet

The Runoff Election is Scheduled in Georgia on December 6, 2022

Here's what you need to know to make your GA Runoff Voting Plan!

In Georgia, a runoff election is held when no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote.  There are races that require runoffs following the General Election that are yet to be determined.  

If you are a Georgia voter, we strongly encourage you to exercise your voting right once again on December 6, 2022. If you didn’t vote in the November 8, 2022, General Election, you are still eligible to vote in the runoff, as long as you registered to vote by November 7, 2022.

Now is the time to request your absentee ballot and make your voting plan!
