- Georgia is holding its presidential primary and several competitive congressional primaries on Tuesday.
- In addition to the Democratic primary for US Senate, there are hotly contested primaries for three US House seats in Georgia's 7th, 9th, and 14th congressional districts.
- Polls in most of Georgia closed at 7 p.m. in most of the state, but widespread problems with Georgia's administration of in-person voting led to poll closing times to be extended to as late as 10 p.m. in some places.
- The significant increase in voters casting ballots by mail and resulting delays in ballot counting means that some races may not be called until late Tuesday night
