Georgia is one of the few states where both a Class 2 Senate seat and the governorship are on the same November card, and where state law can send a contest to a runoff if nobody reaches a majority. The Senate guide cites the Clerk’s nominee list for Jon Ossoff and Mike Collins, and it cites the Secretary of State’s June 16, 2026 Republican runoff canvass for the primary that nominated Collins. That runoff is already over. It is not a template for November. The hub’s candidate file does not list a statewide ballot question. Readers watching returns should separate a primary runoff margin from a general-election count, and they should not treat a plurality on election night as the last word if the statute requires a majority.
Georgia’s sourced statewide list includes U.S. Senate; Governor; Lieutenant Governor; Secretary of State; Attorney General, and 4 more lines on the hub above. A Class 2 U.S. Senate seat, last elected in 2020, is on this state’s regular 2026 ballot. The term is six years and expires in January 2027. A governor’s race is on the cycle. The winner becomes the state’s chief executive under the state constitution. This page does not predict who that will be. The hub’s summary of the official list includes at least one statewide question. A measure is not a candidate. Its passage rule is in state law, and the legal text is the pamphlet or the certificate, not a campaign slogan. The list is not a sample ballot for a street address. Counties add local offices, and a ZIP sketch on this site is not the official card.
Race guides linked from this hub: GA Senate (Cook Political Report: Lean D, September 8, 2026); GA Governor (Cook Political Report: Tossup, August 20, 2026); GA-07. A rating in that list is the outlet’s label. It is not a Map the Midterms call, and a guide with no rating is not secretly a Toss-up. Candidate names on a guide come from an election-office list, a certified ballot, or the Clerk of the House nominee list. The short bio restates that listing. It is not a speech. Where a card links a verified Ballotpedia profile, the profile collects public reporting. This briefing does not copy it.
Past margins for president, Senate, governor, or a House district are the canvass Georgia Secretary of State — Elections certified, and for federal offices the compilation the Federal Election Commission publishes from those state reports. This briefing does not drop in a percentage it has not copied from one of those documents. A close prior canvass is a reason to watch how Georgia reports mail and provisional ballots. It is not a 2026 result. Turnout rates disagree when one chart uses the Census Bureau’s survey and another uses registered voters or ballots counted. Atlanta is the capital. Most of Georgia is on Eastern Time. Poll-close comparisons with other states have to respect that clock. Certification is the state’s work, on the state’s calendar, after election night.
