Early Voting Underway for Georgia's PSC Seat, Change in Forsyth County

GEORGIA, JUL 6 – Two Democrats compete in a runoff for Georgia PSC District 3 after no candidate won a majority; low turnout and rising utility bills are key voter concerns, experts say.

  • Early voting began on July 7 for Georgia's Democratic runoff election to select the Public Service Commission District 3 candidate, with Election Day set for July 15.
  • The runoff follows last month's primary where no Democrat secured a majority, requiring voters from that primary to choose between Keisha Waites and Peter Hubbard.
  • Waites, a former Atlanta City Council member, received about 46%, while challenger Hubbard got about 33% of the primary votes, and nearly half of early votes come from metro Atlanta counties.
  • Approximately 4,500 ballots had been cast statewide by Monday, with requirements including valid photo ID and eligibility limited to those who voted in the Democratic primary.
  • The victor of the runoff will compete against Republican Commissioner Fitz Johnson in the general election this November, which will influence statewide oversight of utilities under the Public Service Commission.
