GA-SD07: What Gwinnett County voters need to know about the upcoming special election
DULUTH, Ga. - A special election will be held to fill the Georgia Senate District 7 seat left vacant by the resignation of Nabilah Parkes.
The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office set the special election date for May 19, which is the same date as the General Primary Election in Georgia.
Because this is a special election, the normal primary cycle to define a party’s preference is skipped, causing a "free-for-all" vote to fill the vacancy.
Depending on the number of qualifying candidates, it could statically force a runoff, which would be scheduled for June 16.
