All of the races contested in the runoff election are statewide posts; there are no local runoffs.
On the Democratic side only one race is on the ballot, between Gail Buckner and Georganna Sinkfield for the party’s nomination for secretary of state.
There are several choices to make on the Republican side. Republican voters will choose between gubernatorial candidates Nathan Deal and Karen Handel; attorney general candidates Sam Olens and Preston Smith; insurance commissioner candidates Ralph Hudgens and Maria Sheffield; and public service commissioner candidates John Douglas and Tim Echols.
