Overview
- Polls are open statewide from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with City of Atlanta precincts open until 8 p.m. under a court order.
- Public Service Commission ballots close at 7 p.m., so votes cast after 7 p.m. in Atlanta will not count for the PSC races.
- The contests feature District 2 incumbent Republican Tim Echols vs. Democrat Alicia Johnson and District 3 incumbent Republican Fitz Johnson vs. Democrat Peter Hubbard.
- All registered Georgia voters are eligible to vote in both PSC races regardless of district.
- Concerns over rising electricity costs — including six Georgia Power price increases in roughly two years — have made the races a focal point, with results expected later tonight.
