*incumbent

"R" indicates that a candidate is Republican and "D" a Democrat. Candidates with no letter by their names are nonpartisan. Libertarians will nominate their candidates at a convention on Saturday.

Interested in other races? Look them up at the Georgia Secretary of State's pretty but barely functional new website.
