Georgia and South Carolina Voters Cast Midterm Ballots
Voters in Georgia and South Carolina cast ballots for governor, U.S. Senate, and local referendums in high-stakes midterm elections on November 3, 2026.
Voters across Georgia and South Carolina cast ballots on November 3, 2026, for a series of high-profile federal, state, and local offices. In Georgia, the most prominent contests include the governor's race between Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms and Republican Rick Jackson, and a U.S. Senate race featuring Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff and Republican challenger Mike Collins. If elected, Bottoms would become the first Black female governor in U.S. history.
Georgia voters are also deciding on all 14 U.S. Congressional District seats and three state constitutional amendments concerning probate judge elections, 911 service funding, and property tax classifications. Localized voting in Chattooga County includes three Board of Education seats and a proposed one-percent education sales tax intended to raise up to $26.9 million, while the Town of Trion is weighing a local bond referendum.
Simultaneously, voters in Greenville, South Carolina, are casting ballots for governor, U.S. Senator, and other state offices. A central issue in Greenville County and the cities of Simpsonville, Mauldin, and Travelers Rest is a series of five-penny sales tax referendums. The South Carolina elections follow recent campaign activity, including a visit by Donald Trump to Pendleton to support U.S. Senator Darline Graham.
