Why is this election important?
The results will determine who will represent each party in the general election – and in key races that are nonpartisan or only one party has a candidate, who will likely be the victor.
Ballots will include candidates for county commission, sheriff, district attorney and some city posts, plus Georgia congressional seats and the Georgia Legislature. The nonpartisan part of the ballot will include referendums and state and local judicial elections.
