Election season in Georgia is about to heat up even more.

The May 19 primary election, when Georgians will select party nominees for races up and down the ballot, is a month and a half away, and voters will soon have the chance to meet some of the candidates on their screens.

The Atlanta Press Club Loudermilk-Young Debate Series is set to host primary election debates for top races between Sunday, April 26 and Tuesday, April 28. Separate debates will be held between members of both major parties. Those who win next month’s party primaries will go on to compete in the Nov. 3 general election.
