The clock is ticking for Georgians who want to cast a ballot in the May 19 primary election. The final day to register to vote is Monday, April 20.
The 2026 midterm cycle has drawn significant national attention to Georgia, with competitive races for U.S. Senate, multiple congressional seats, and statewide offices on the ballot. A GOP super PAC recently committed a record $44 million to unseat Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, underscoring the stakes of the cycle.
The Atlanta Press Club will host its Loudermilk-Young Debate Series between April 26 and 28, giving voters a chance to see candidates face off before primary day. Debates will cover the Republican field seeking to challenge Ossoff, lieutenant governor candidates from both parties, and candidates for two open congressional seats.
Georgians can check their voter registration, find their polling precinct, and view a sample ballot on the Secretary of State's My Voter Page. Registration can be completed online, by mail, or in person at county registrar offices.
With early voting expected to open in the weeks before the primary, the April 20 deadline is the most important near-term date on Georgia's political calendar.
