Georgia Holds Primary Elections for Senate, Governor and Court Seats

Georgia voters head to the polls Tuesday for primary elections that include competitive Republican contests for U.S. Senate and governor. Democrats are also fielding candidates for two seats on the state supreme court, where they hope higher turnout will help them gain the positions. The supreme court races are nonpartisan but have drawn attention from both parties.

Senate features multiple candidates seeking the party's nomination. The winner will face the Democratic nominee in the fall. The governor's race also has several Republican candidates on the ballot. The primary winner will advance to the general election against the Democratic candidate.

Democrats have said they aim to win both seats through increased voter participation. Results from Tuesday's voting will help shape the state's political landscape heading into the November elections.
