AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Georgia’s special congressional runoff
The winner will serve the remaining months of the late Rep. David Scott’s term as the runoff could narrow the Republican House majority.
- On Tuesday, voters in Georgia's 13th Congressional District will decide between former Gwinnett County School Board Chair Everton Blair and Marcye Scott, daughter of the late Congressman David Scott, in a special runoff election.
- This special election follows Congressman Scott's April 22 death; Blair and Marcye Scott emerged as the top two candidates from a five-person field during the July 28 special election.
- Approximately 585,000 registered voters are eligible to participate in the contest. As of Friday, about 5,200 ballots had been cast, with Gwinnett County providing the largest share of early and mail-in votes.
- The winner will serve the final months of the current term, concluding January 3, 2027, as neither candidate is running for the full term that State Rep. Jasmine Clark secured the Democratic nomination for.
- With midterm elections approaching in 70 days, the result will temporarily fill the legislative seat before the next full term begins in 2027, potentially affecting the narrow Republican majority in the U.S. House.
