Election Day 2024 is done, and even while results are being tallied, Georgia voters can prepare themselves to vote again in a runoff should any eligible races require one.
Georgia is one of nine states that allow primary election runoffs and only one of two that require one for general elections. If no candidate receives the majority of the vote, Georgia law requires a runoff between the two candidates who received the highest numbers of votes. Back in 2020, both U.S. Senate seats in Georgia went to runoffs. There is no runoff for presidential races, but congressional, state and local races are eligible.
If needed, the runoff will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 3, with early voting taking place the week before. Like Election Day, polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
