Why the June 16 Runoff Matters
Runoffs happen when no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote in a primary. In 2026, more than 800 races across Georgia are headed to the June 16 runoff. The winners will move on to the November ballot.
The June 16 runoff may include races that affect issues employees and families follow, including workforce, economic, and community priorities.
Hi team,
Georgia’s primary election isn’t over yet.
In more than 800 races across the state, no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote in the primary. That means the top two candidates in each race are moving on to a runoff election on June 16.
Runoff elections are easy to miss, especially after the primary has passed. We are sharing this reminder so every employee has access to clear, nonpartisan information about when and how to vote. Clear information can help you decide whether and how you want to participate.
I encourage you to learn more and make a voting plan that works with your schedule. This reminder isn’t about telling anyone how to vote. It is simply to make sure you have the information you need to participate if you choose.
Any registered employee may participate in the June 16 runoff, even if they did not vote in the May primary.
