More than 800 races across Georgia are headed to the June 16 runoff election.
Georgia Matters helps trusted leaders understand what is happening, explain why it matters, and share clear, nonpartisan resources with their communities.
Are You Runoff Ready?
Runoff elections are easy to miss.
You can change that.
Runoffs can be confusing, even for people who follow elections closely. Many Georgians don’t know the primary is still happening, whether they can vote, or where to find official information.
We give trusted leaders simple, nonpartisan resources to understand the June 16 runoff and help their communities participate with confidence.

THE ELECTION IS NOT OVER YET
November elections get most of the attention, but many important decisions happen earlier.
In Georgia, when no candidate receives enough votes to win a primary outright, the race continues to a runoff between the top two candidates. The winner moves forward to the November ballot.
That means the June 16 runoff is not a side note. It is part of how Georgia chooses who appears on the ballot this fall.
Runoffs are easy to miss. A simple reminder from a trusted leader can help people participate.
