2018 Georgia Secretary of State election
The 2018 Georgia Secretary of State election was held on November 6, 2018, to elect the Secretary of State of Georgia, concurrently with the 2018 gubernatorial election, as well as elections to the United States Senate and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Because no candidate received the requisite 50 percent plus one vote, the top two candidates proceeded to a runoff on December 4, 2018, which Raffensperger narrowly won. This was the first general runoff election in Georgia's history for a statewide constitutional executive office.
Incumbent Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp chose not to run for re-election in order to run for governor.Republican primary
