About this race
The 2026 Georgia gubernatorial election will take place on November 3, 2026, to elect the governor of Georgia. Incumbent Republican governor Brian Kemp is ineligible to seek re-election to a third consecutive term. Primary elections were held on May 19, 2026, with a primary runoff held on June 16. Rick Jackson and Burt Jones received the most votes in the first round of the Republican primary, but failed to reach the 50% threshold, causing a runoff which Jackson won. Jackson will face off against Democratic nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms in November.
The 2026 gubernatorial primary was the first time that Democratic turnout exceeded that of Republicans since 2006.
