Georgia faces a surge of special elections in 2026 following the resignations of Marjorie Taylor Greene and state representatives Karen Bennett and Lynn Heffner.

Political resignations have led to multiple special elections being scheduled in Georgia this year on top of midterms in November. Watch these races.

ATLANTA — When Georgians went to the polls on Tuesday to vote in their local elections, they had a rare "odd-year" chance to weigh in on two influential statewide races. Two of the five seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) were up for grabs.

Georgia is once again expected to play a pivotal role in this year's midterm elections, with races for a competitive U.S. Senate seat and a new governor drawing national attention.

Fulton County Commissioner Dana Barrett planned to hold a news conference Thursday morning to launch her campaign for secretary of state.

Georgia’s secretary of state addressed the controversy and said, “A clerical error at the end of the day does not erase valid, legal votes.”
