What is a primary election?
A primary election is where parties decide who to nominate as their candidate in the general election, which takes place in November.
Georgia is an “open primary” state. This means you choose which one of the party’s primary to vote in, regardless of your own party affiliation.
Any U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old, that are legal residents of Georgia and their designated county are eligible to vote as long as they have not been declared mentally incompetent by a court or are currently serving a sentence for the conviction of a felony.
