Georgia 2026 · The Ballot You Won’t Get
For most Georgians, the legislature is already decided.
81/236
state legislative seats have no major-party opponent on the November ballot — about 1 in 3. The winner was effectively chosen in a primary most voters skipped.
81
seats with no opponent (34%)
50
Democrat-only (no Republican ran)
31
Republican-only (no Democrat ran)
72
held by an unchallenged incumbent
Of Georgia’s 236 state House and Senate seats, 81 (34%) will not be contested by both major parties in November — 61 House seats and 20 Senate seats. In those districts the general election is a formality: the only name that matters was settled in a low-turnout primary. Criminal-justice and prison-reform votes in these seats face no electoral accountability at the ballot box.

Source: Georgia Secretary of State official results (May 19 primary + June 16 runoff, 159/159 precincts reporting). A seat is “unopposed” when only one major party fielded a candidate. As of June 2026, no independent or third-party candidate is on the ballot in any of these seats (the Libertarian Party of Georgia fielded no legislative candidates in 2026). Independents may still petition onto the ballot through July 14, 2026; this list will be re-checked after that. Updated June 2026.
