Georgia Politics, Campaigns, and Elections

Voters may request mail-in absentee ballots for the May 19, 2026 Primary Election beginning today, according to Atlanta News First via WALB.

Georgia voters in the state’s nationally watched midterm primaries this year can now apply for absentee ballots.

Monday, March 2, 2026, is the first day to request an absentee ballot. The last day to request an absentee ballot is May 7, 2026. Absentee ballots for the May 19 primary will begin being mailed on April 20, 2026.

Early voting begins Monday, April 27, 2026, and runs through Friday, May 15, 2026.

Qualifying also begins Monday in all of the state’s nationally watched primaries, including the wide open races for governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state and attorney general.

The May 19, 2026, primary will determine the Democratic and Republican gubernatorial nominees this fall. Gov. Brian Kemp is term limited, meaning the campaign to become the state’s 84th chief executive is wide open.

Lt. Gov. Burt Jones; healthcare CEO Rick Jackson; Attorney General Chris Carr; and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger are the chief Republican contenders.

Several Democrats are hoping to have the chance to unseat the GOP’s 21st century hold on the governor’s mansion, including former state senator Jason Esteves; former state Labor commissioner and DeKalb CEO Michael Thurmond; and former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.

U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff is unsurprisingly running unopposed in his re-election bid, but several Republicans are running to face the one-term Democratic incumbent on Nov. 3, 2026. Former college football coach Derek Dooley has Kemp’s endorsement, but U.S. Rep. Mike Collins is widely seen as leading the race.

U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter is also running for the GOP Senate nomination.

With Jones, Carr and Raffensperger all running for governor, the races for lieutenant governor, attorney general and secretary of state are also open.

Governor Brian Kemp announced he will sign the FY 2026 Amended Budget, according to a Press Release.

On Tuesday, March 3, Governor Brian P. Kemp will sign the Amended Fiscal Year 2026 budget, HB 973. The budget includes funding for several key measures championed by the governor and legislative partners, including income tax and property tax relief, an endowment for the Georgia DREAMS Scholarship program, historic transportation investments, and more.

WHAT: Governor Brian P. Kemp will sign the Amended Fiscal Year 2026 budget following remarks, joined by leaders and members of the General Assembly and Constitutional Officers.

WHO: Governor Brian Kemp, First Lady Marty Kemp, Lt. Governor Burt Jones, Speaker Jon Burns, Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Blake Tillery, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Matt Hatchett, other state legislators, and Constitutional Officers.

WHEN: Tuesday, March 3, 12:30 p.m. (Media MUST be in place by 12:15 p.m.)

WHERE: Georgia State Capitol Building, North Wing Steps

RSVP: Media wishing to attend should RSVP to Annalise Morning by Tuesday, March 3, at 9 a.m. at annalise.morning@georgia.gov

Candidate Qualifying for the 2026 General Primary and General Election begins today, according to the Savannah Morning News.

The qualifying period for the state’s midterm elections is Monday, March 2 through Friday, March 6. Those interested will have to bring in the necessary paperwork and payments by this time in order to get their names on the primary ballot.

On Thursday, Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman pulled out of her race in order to instead run for state senate, leaving just one woman on either side of the aisle and several male contenders.

According to Ballotpedia, there are eight people running to be the Republican nominee for Georgia governor:

• Chris Carr
• Clark Dean
• Rick Jackson
• Burt Jones
• Gregg Kirkpatrick
• Leland Olinger II
• Brad Raffensperger
• Ken Yasger

Excluding Romman, there are six people running to be the Democratic nominee:

• Keisha Bottoms
• Olu Brown
• Geoff Duncan
• Jason Esteves
• Derrick Jackson
• Mike Thurmond

From WRGA News:

For Floyd County Commission, Posts One, currently held by Rhonda Wallace; Post Four, held by David Thornton; and Post Five, currently held by Scotty Hancock, will be on the ballot.

Hancock has announced that he will not be seeking re-election.

For Floyd County Board of Education, District One, held by Steve Turrentine, and District Four, held by Tony Daniel, are up for election.

Daniel has announced that he is not running again.

The qualifying fee for county commission is $216, and the fee to run for school board is $360.

Qualifying for Juvenile Court Judge, State Senate, and State House is also going on this week.

From the AJC:

Four U.S. House races. Dozens of contenders.

There are wide-open contests to replace Carter and Collins, along with retiring U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk and Marjorie Taylor Greene, who abruptly resigned in January.

The Greene vacancy is the most complicated. The March 10 special election to complete the remainder of her term overlaps with the regular election cycle.

That means some candidates are filing twice — navigating two ballots, two timelines and potentially five rounds of voting.

The open races aren’t the only heated contests. Several prominent Democrats have lined up to challenge U.S. Rep. David Scott, 80, whose age and health have prompted concern among party leaders.

There are insurgent bids on the GOP side, too — including former Gainesville Mayor Sam Couvillon’s primary challenge to U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde.

The churn under the Gold Dome might be just as consequential.

Nine members of the Georgia Senate are seeking higher office, opening up competitive seats across the state. In the House, several high-profile retirements — including Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones and long-serving state Rep. Lynn Smith — guarantee a reshuffling.

And roughly a dozen legislative seats are already shaping up as November battlegrounds.

Senate Bill 568 by State Sen. Greg Dolezal (R-Cumming) would change rules on in-person absentee voting, according to Atlanta News First via WRDW.

State legislators are considering more changes to Georgia’s voting law, proposing a new bill that would alter the way early voters cast ballots.

State Sen. Greg Dolezal, a Republican from Cumming, introduced SB 568 this week. The proposal would assign early voters to one precinct in their county. Currently, voters can cast early votes at any precinct in their county.

It would also move early voting to a hand-marked paper ballot system, where voters use a pen to mark their selections, instead of the currently used touchscreen system.

“So that we would not have to print so many permutations at the paper ballots, we would assign voters to an early voting location,” said Dolezal. “Most people are going to vote to the at the early voting location closest to their home anyway.”

The bill was immediately met with backlash from democrats as a barrier to the vote.

“I have no idea how voting on a piece of paper, marking it down with your pencil in any way suppresses the vote,” said Dolezal. “For most counties out of, you know, 140 call it out of 159, they just have one location.”

Dolezal’s proposal would also require local clerks to publicly post their entire voting rolls ahead of elections.

“Making public every single voter who is qualified to vote is to some extent, a little bit of an invasion of privacy for each individual voter,” said state Sen. Sonya Halpern (D-Atlanta). “We need to have trust in our election officials to run those elections.”

It’s the latest change the legislature has proposed to Georgia’s voting system.

“You have dirty, dirty voting rolls, you’re going to have dirty elections,” Dolezal said.

The bill would also shift responsibility for voter challenges from the counties to the State Elections Board. In addition, it would also move the threshold for an automatic recount in the state from a 1.5% margin to 2%.

From WSB Radio:

The bill would move the state fully to hand-marked paper ballots and limit where early voting can take place. It would also put the State Election Board in charge of recounts and election challenges.

Right now, voters can cast an early ballot at any location within their county. The legislation, sponsored by Republican Senator Greg Dolezal, would assign voters an early voting location based on where they live.

“We would assign voters to an early voting location; and so the thinking there is that most people are going to vote at the early voting location closest to their home anyway,” Dolezal said.

Dolezal says the vision of the bill is for it to be implemented for the November 2026 election.

“The advanced voting locations for people would ideally be the closest to them,” he said.

He also defended the proposal, saying, “if you have dirty voting rules you’re going to have dirty elections.”

Senate Democratic Leader Harold Jones opposes the measure.

“Once again the republican party is trying to suppress votes,” Jones said.

He added, “so what we have is the suppression party in the republican party.”

Jones says Democrats will oppose any attempt to overhaul elections.

“Anything that’s presented by this party as far as voting is concerned, we know we’re going to be opposed to it,” he said.

If approved, the changes would go into effect for the November elections.

The State House passed four bills addressing affordability and insurance, according to the Capitol Beat News Service via the Savannah Morning News.

After approving one-time income and property tax rebates for Georgians earlier this week, the state House returned with four more affordability measures, this time aimed at insurance costs.

The legislation passed by the House Thursday aims to curb excess insurance industry billing and profits while increasing what’s covered and punishing drivers for inadequate insurance.

“Georgia is leading the nation in tackling affordability and driving down the cost of living for our neighbors — from energy and healthcare to housing and now insurance,” House Speaker Jon Burns, R-Newington, said in a statement after the insurance bills passed with commanding bipartisan majorities, one of them unanimously.

This was one day after the House and Senate approved a midyear budget that returns $2 billion to taxpayers in the form of one-time property and income tax rebates.

The insurance measures now headed to the Senate take several approaches.

House Bill 1262 would increase fines against insurance companies for surprise billing, failure to cover mental health treatment, and other violations. House Bill 1263 would reduce the amount of time companies can take before seeking refunds for premium tax payment errors.

House Bill 1274 would require rate decreases by insurance companies that notch profits exceeding 5% of projections for three straight years.

House Bill 1344 would increase nearly 40 outdated insurance fines in state law, and it would hand the Office of the Insurance Commissioner John King more authority to levy fines. It also would amend uninsured motorist laws by allowing police to cite drivers who operate a vehicle while “excluded” from the owner’s insurance. Owners who give excluded drivers the keys would face a misdemeanor charge that could result in up to a year in jail, plus a $1,000 fine.

Rep. Matt Reeves, R-Duluth, introduced the latter two bills. He also led a study committee on insurance rates that Burns appointed last year and that shaped the House’s new approach to insurance.

Reeves said King asked for some of the measures, adding that the insurance commissioner told him a Florida bill like HB 1274 had resulted in a $1 billion rebate to customers there.

It might be a while before something like that happens in Georgia. Insurance companies would need to be highly profitable first.

During a hearing in mid-February on HB 1274, a fellow Republican asked Reeves to remind him the last time a Georgia insurer had profits over 5%.

“For three straight years?” Reeves asked him.

“For three straight years,” responded his colleague, Rep. Bruce Williamson, R-Monroe, a member of the House Insurance Committee.

“That’s been a while,” Reeves said.

Williamson said insurance company profitability was the problem in Georgia. He said he applauded the goal of limiting profits. “But I do want to point out for the benefit of the audience that this has not happened in a very long time.”

Reeves agreed.

From the AJC:

House Speaker Jon Burns created a special study committee to review the state’s insurance market. Overseen by Reeves, the committee examined the insurance industry’s system for setting rates and processing claims over several meetings throughout the state. The Republican-dominated committee also reviewed the industry’s profit margins and compliance with state laws.

House Bill 1344, which passed the House by a vote of 166-3 on Thursday, was the result of the committee’s work.

The bill, which now moves to the Georgia Senate for consideration, would also increase fines for insurance fraud. An example of insurance fraud is making a claim for insurance benefits by staging a collision.

House Bill 1210 by State Rep. Noelle Kahaian (R-Locust Grove) addresses transgender children, according to the Savannah Morning News.

Following similar efforts nationwide and encouragement this week from President Donald Trump, a Georgia lawmaker wants to double down on curtailing the rights of transgender and nonbinary youth. Rep. Noelle Kahaian’s bill focuses on their parents and caregivers.

The first-term Republican frames her newly introduced legislation as providing “protections for children who adopt an identity that differs from their sex.’’ It would establish that parents, foster parents and kinship caregivers have the right to raise their children in accordance with their biological sex — even if the child identifies differently. The proposed measure specifically safeguards caregivers’ “religious or sincerely held beliefs.”

The definitions would apply specifically to the child welfare system, protecting parents and caregivers from losing custody or being accused of abuse solely for denying their child’s expressed identity. The bill also restricts how state employees and contractors can support trans youth.

Georgia does not publish data tracking this population, but one 2019 study from California found that about 30% of youth in foster care identify as LGBTQ+ — and 5% as transgender — compared to 11 % and 1% not involved with the child welfare system. These foster youth are more likely to experience mistreatment and to be placed in institutional settings rather than homes. They are also less likely to be adopted or reunified with their families.

Kahaian’s measure defines “affirming” a child’s sex as using their legal name and pronouns assigned at birth. That’s the opposite of how LGBTQ+ advocates and medical providers use the term “affirming,” which for years has referred to social support and medical treatments for someone who is transitioning to a different gender as an adolescent or an adult.

In his Tuesday State of the Union address, Trump issued a call similar to Kahaian’s new parental rights bill. He shared a lengthy anecdote describing Sage Blair who, at 14, was allowed to “socially transition” and identify as a male at a Virginia school. Blair eventually ended up in the Washington, D.C. area, where Trump proclaimed that a Maryland “left-wing judge refused to return Blair to her parents because they did not immediately state that their daughter was their son.”

“Surely we can all agree, no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents’ arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents’ will,” Trump said. “We must ban it.”

Police blotter: Hall County Sheriff Gerald Couch was arrested and charged with DUI, according to AccessWDUN.

According to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, at around 10:30 a.m., a deputy in an unmarked patrol vehicle observed a black Chevrolet Tahoe traveling on Green Hill Road and failing to maintain its lane. The deputy followed the SUV as it turned into a private driveway.

When the deputy made contact with the driver, identified as Couch, he detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage and observed signs of impairment, including slurred speech and unsteady movements. Since the driver was the sheriff, the deputy requested the Georgia State Patrol to conduct the DUI investigation.

A state trooper responded to the scene, conducted Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, and determined Couch was under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested and transported to the Hall County Jail, where he was charged with driving under the influence, failure to maintain lane and open container.

The sheriff’s office took possession of the county-issued SUV he had been driving, and agency officials also notified the state of the incident. Couch later posted a $1,560 bond and was released from jail at around 6 p.m.

Hall County Jail records indicate that Gerald Jay Couch, age 63, was arrested on Friday, Feb. 27 on charges including DUI, failure to maintain lane, and an open container violation.

Couch has served as Hall County sheriff since first being elected in 2012. He has been involved with the sheriff’s office since 1981.

The arrest came just two months after Couch had returned to the office after going on leave for undisclosed health reasons in December of 2025.

A new behavioral health care unit in Columbus seeks to alleviate a jail backlog, according to WTVM.

State officials have opened a new “Operation New Hope” unit in Columbus, expanding Georgia’s effort to help individuals transition out of forensic units and reduce jail waitlists.

The 30‑bed program is located at West Central Georgia Regional Hospital on Schatulga Road.

Participants typically arrive after completing competency restoration services but still need structured support before returning home.

“The expansion of Operation New Hope on our Columbus campus marks an important milestone for Georgia’s forensic behavioral health system,” said Commissioner Kevin Tanner with the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities. “This program reflects our commitment to improving outcomes for patients while strengthening the entire continuum of care.”

The Columbus facility has already admitted its first 10 participants and is working toward filling all 30 beds. Officials say the added capacity will help reduce the time individuals spend in county jails awaiting hospital placement.

The expansion is supported by a $1.6 million allocation in the state’s Fiscal Year 2026 budget. The investment honors the late House Speaker David Ralston, who championed mental health reform and pushed for greater statewide support for behavioral health services.

Bibb County Sheriff David Davis is seeking additional funding for mental health needs in their jail, according to the Macon Telegraph.

Bibb County Sheriff David Davis wants the county government to put more public safety funds toward mental health support for local incarcerated people.

While Davis said he appreciates the jail’s existing partnership with River Edge Behavioral Health, he said it’s not enough to serve the growing number of people with mental health issues who “can sometimes be disruptive” at the Bibb County Jail.

“We need to do a little bit more in the jail for mental health,” Davis said. “Our contract with River Edge is really good, and River Edge is doing us great work, but they’re not here all the time, like overnight and sometimes on the weekend, so we’re going to ask them to provide a little bit more service for us, and obviously that’s going to cost a little bit more money.”

The number of people with mental health disorders in the Bibb County Jail rose from about 30-35% in 2025, to around 35-40% in 2026, according to Parrin Cowan, the jail’s in-reach program director employed by River Edge Behavioral Health.

The overall jail population has also increased, even though the county allocated $500,000 last year to decrease it. There were 1,061 people detained at the jail as of Feb. 4, and 1,018 on June. 10, 2025, when Miller announced a plan that was supposed to release 150 people on ankle monitors at no cost, in an effort to cut the jail population. The jail’s capacity is 966.

The City of Tybee Island is considering revising their Short Term Vacation Rental ordinance, according to the Savannah Morning News.

Proposed amendments to the City of Tybee Island’s short-term vacation rental (STVR) ordinance could add 118 STVRs to Tybee’s residential areas and place a hard cap on the total number of rentals allowed in those areas.

City Council voted 4-2 to send the ordinance to staff so they could take a look at the recommendations and draft them into an ordinance, and then at a later point, planning commission would take a look before it came back to council.

The Gwinnett Daily Post has a Q&A with Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, who is running for Governor.

State Rep. Carl Gilliard (D-Savannah) announced he will not run for reelection, according to WSAV.

Gilliard made the announcement Friday morning on WSAV’s “News 3 Today,” saying his decision to step away from elected office was driven by family, faith and a desire to return home after years of public service.

“I’ve done the work. I felt it’s time to come home,” Gilliard said in a one-on-one interview with WSAV.

Gilliard has represented House District 162 since 2016, serving portions of Savannah and Chatham County. During his tenure, he built a reputation as one of the most active lawmakers in the Georgia General Assembly, authoring and passing more legislation than any Democrat over the last three legislative sessions.

“I spent ten years of my life away from family,” Gilliard said. “Missing your family is a big part of coming back home, but I wouldn’t change the journey because everything taught me how to get better.”

Many of the bills Gilliard championed were shaped by experiences and tragedies affecting his constituents. Among them was House Bill 79, which expanded parental rights for blind Georgians, as well as legislation repealing Georgia’s citizen’s arrest law following the killing of Ahmaud Arbery.

“When Ahmaud Arbery was killed, they said citizen’s arrest was the reason,” Gilliard said. “That’s why I wrote the bill to repeal Georgia’s citizen’s arrest law.”

Gilliard also played a role in efforts to honor the “Original 33” Black legislators who were expelled from the Georgia General Assembly during Reconstruction, helping advance plans for a permanent monument at the state Capitol.

“That is a powerful legacy,” he said. “I’m glad that I was a part of it.”

Throughout his career, Gilliard said his guiding principle was listening to constituents, a theme he often summarized as “what the people say.”

“The boots on the ground, the people on the ground, always kept me plugged in” he said. “I always kept them engaged. I brought the state to Savannah many times, the people on Main Street.”

As he looks ahead, Gilliard said his focus is shifting away from elected office and back toward his family and community.

“The next chapter of my life…I just want to do what God calls me to do,” he said. “And I believe God is calling me back home to Savannah.”

Former Macon-Bibb County Commissioner Seth Clark announced he is withdrawing from the race for the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor, according to the Macon Telegraph.

Former Mayor Pro Tempore of Macon-Bibb County Seth Clark said he will suspend his campaign over the next several weeks. He announced his candidacy about one month ago.

“Recently, personal circumstances have shifted in ways that make the year ahead increasingly uncertain,” Clark said. “After careful reflection, I’ve concluded that my most immediate calling is to my family. And as such, I cannot devote the time and focus that a campaign of this scope requires, and that Georgians deserve.”

Clark is not allowed to return to his Macon-Bibb County Commission seat because he resigned, according to Chris Floore, the county’s chief communications officer.

This leaves two Democratic candidates in the race: Josh McLaurin and Richard Wright. Seven Republicans also are in the running, according to Ballotpedia. The position is currently held by Republican Burt Jones.

Georgia’s primary election is May 19, followed by the general on Nov. 3.

Democrat Holle Weiss-Friedman announced she will run for the House District 179 seat held by Republican State Rep. Rick Townsend (SSI), according to The Brunswick News.

Democrat Jyot Singh announced he will run for the Georgia State House District 97 seat held by Ruwa Romman, who is running for State Senate, according to AccessWDUN.

Jyot Singh will formally announce on Sunday that he will shift his focus to the Democratic candidacy with the Georgia State House District 97 seat, currently held by Ruwa Romman. She recently announced that she is leaving a race for Georgia Governor to run for the State Senate District 7 seat in the May 19 Primary Elections.

Singh originally planned to run for the Senate District 7 seat, but said in a press release on Thursday, February 26 that he was shifting his focus, following Romman’s announcement. Singh says he will enter the race for House District 97 with the same political goal: To deliver for working families.

The formal announcement is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 1, 2026 at Jones Bridge Park’s large pavilion, at 4901 E Jones Bridge Road, in Peachtree Corners.

Chris Kelly announced he is withdrawing from the election for Columbus City Council District 7, according to WTVM.

Georgia’s Secretary of State will speak in Augusta, according to WRDW.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger will visit the Augusta Rotary Club on Monday.

The visit will take place at Enterprise Mill, 1450 Greene Street, from noon to 1 p.m.

Organizers say Raffensperger will provide updates on the corporations division, elections, the First Liberty Building and Loan investigation and other topics.

There will also be time for one-on-one meetings at the end of the event.

Raffensperger, whose recorded phone call with Donald Trump in the 2020 election’s chaotic aftermath made international headlines, is running to become Georgia’s next governor.
