Do you trust that your congressional representatives reflect the views of voters in your district?
Georgia voters will select U.S. representatives for all 14 congressional districts on November 3, 2026, with polls closing at 7 p.m. EST. No Georgia House race is rated competitive by election handicappers this cycle.
Why it matters
Gov. Brian Kemp's attempt at mid-decade redistricting, made after the Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais, stalled when the state Legislature's Republican leadership declined to take up the new maps. As a result, the November vote will be held under the existing district lines.
Georgia's 14 House seats currently break down as nine Republican and five Democratic, and no House contest is rated competitive by election handicappers. The source does not say whether the stalled redistricting effort will be revived.
The players
Brian Kemp
Georgia's governor, who called the special session to pursue mid-decade congressional redistricting.
Mike Collins
Georgia Republican congressman who won the GOP nomination for the state's open U.S. Senate seat over fellow Rep. Buddy Carter.
Buddy Carter
Georgia Republican congressman who gave up his House seat to run for the open U.S. Senate seat.
The details
Kemp called a special session of the state Legislature to initiate mid-decade redistricting, but Republican leadership in the Legislature reversed course and declined to take up the new maps. Several open or changing seats are shaping the race, including GOP Rep. Buddy Carter's run for the U.S. Senate, which Rep. Mike Collins won over Carter for the Republican nomination, and GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk's retirement after a decade in Congress.
Timeline
Earlier in 2026: Kemp attempted to initiate mid-decade redistricting via special session.
November 3, 2026: Georgians vote for U.S. representatives; polls close at 7 p.m. EST.
2027: New faces are expected to take seats in Georgia's congressional delegation.
Political Context
Kemp's mid-decade redistricting attempt followed the Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which opened the door to redrawing congressional lines outside the usual cycle. The Georgia Legislature's Republican leadership ultimately declined to act on those maps, leaving the existing districts in place for the November vote.
Georgia voters will choose new or returning representatives under the current district lines rather than newly drawn maps. Residents in districts with open seats, such as the 1st, 10th, and 11th, will see new candidates on the ballot.
The takeaway
Because the redistricting push stalled, Georgia's November vote will reflect the existing maps, so voters should check which district they live in before heading to the polls.
What happens next
Polls close at 7 p.m. EST on November 3, 2026, when Georgia's 14 House races are decided.
