Overview
- Voters are choosing Public Service Commission members in District 2 (incumbent Republican Tim Echols vs. Democrat Alicia Johnson) and District 3 (incumbent Republican Fitz Johnson vs. Democrat Peter Hubbard).
- All registered Georgians can vote in both PSC contests regardless of district because these are special elections on a statewide ballot.
- Polling places are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. statewide, while locations inside the City of Atlanta close at 8 p.m., and any ballots cast after 7 p.m. do not count for the PSC races.
- Georgia Power has implemented six price increases in roughly two years, placing electricity costs at the center of the campaigns.
- Turnout is expected to be decisive for the direction of utility regulation, with voters citing everyday impacts on household energy bills.
