Georgia Filing Closes for Special U.S. House Election, Fifth District

Georgia holds a special election to fill the vacant U.S. House seat, 5th district, on Tuesday, September 29. Filing closed on July 31. Anyone can get on the ballot without a petition, by paying the filing fee of $5,220. Here is the list of seven candidates. They include five Democrats, one Libertarian, and one independent. No Republican filed. The seat is empty because of the death of John Lewis. Use the link, and then input “September 29” in the question about election date.

If no one gets a majority on September 29, there will be a runoff on December 1. The new Democratic nominee for this district, Nikema Williams (who was chosen by a Democratic Party meeting) chose not to run in the special election.
