The ballots are now set for two special legislative races in Georgia and the candidates are still lining up for a third contest set for March 10. 

Since the 2026 legislative session is already underway, the winners may not be seated in time to cast any votes under the Gold Dome this year unless they win their race outright. The session ends April 2, and runoffs, if needed, are set for April 7. 

All lawmakers – including the winners of these special elections – will be on the ballot later this year.
