Governor, Senate and 11th District races lead Georgia ballot

Georgia ballot contests

Georgia’s ballot is centered on three major contests: the race for governor, the race for U.S. Senate and the race for the 11th Congressional District in the U.S. House.

The 11th District is a congressional race, while the governor and Senate contests are statewide races. The contests are presented together as the leading races on the Georgia ballot.

What voters will need to follow

Voters will need to track the candidate fields, qualifying decisions and election schedule for each contest. Those details will determine who appears on the ballot and when voters can take part.

The governor’s race will select Georgia’s chief state executive. The Senate race will select one of the state’s two members of the U.S. Senate. The 11th District race will select Georgia’s representative from that congressional district.

Cobb-area relevance

The 11th Congressional District is the congressional contest named in the ballot lineup. The governor and U.S. Senate races will be statewide contests, while congressional voting depends on a voter’s district.

Voters should check the Georgia election office’s official ballot and election information when those records are published. Candidate names, qualifying status, voting dates and district details should be confirmed there before casting a ballot.
