U.S. House, General Assembly, superior court among runoffs.

- By Mark Niesse Mark.Niesse@ajc.com

Georgia voters will have races to settle during primary runoff elections Aug. 11.

The runoffs include contests for the U.S. House, the Georgia General Assembly, superior court seats and county offices.

Georgia law requires the runoff elections because no candidate in those contests won more than 50% of the vote in the original primary on June 9. Runoffs between the top two finishers in those races are set in 94 of Georgia’s 159 counties.

Voters can view their sample ballots and candidates on the state’s My Voter Page at mvp.sos.ga.gov.

Here’s who’s on the ballot in federal, state and county races in metro Atlanta. Candidates who received higher numbers of votes in the primary are listed first.
