A special election will be held on June 20, 2017, to determine the member of the United States House of Representatives for Georgia's 6th congressional district. Republican Incumbent Tom Price resigned from the seat following his appointment and confirmation as the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Trump Administration. A primary election occurred on April 18, 2017.
Georgia's state law requires the Governor of Georgia to call for a special election to be held at least 30 days after a vacancy. Following Price's resignation, Governor Nathan Deal called for the special election to be held on April 18,[1] with a filing window for prospective candidates from February 13 to 15, 2017.[2] All candidates ran on one ballot, with a runoff election scheduled for June 20, 2017, for the first- and second-place finishers, if no candidate received 50% of the vote.[3]
No candidate reached a majority of the vote on April 18, leading to a runoff election on June 20, 2017. The candidates in the runoff will be Republican candidate Karen Handel and Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff. Ossoff received 48.1% of the vote and Handel received 19.8% of the vote.[4][5] Democratic candidates combined to receive about 49 percent of the total vote, while Republican candidates combined to receive about 51 percent of the total vote.[6]
The election has attracted exceptional national interest, with both major parties perceiving it as an opportunity to shape the political narrative prior to the 2018 midterm elections. A total of $50 million was spent as of the close of early-voting period on June 17, making it the most expensive House election in history.[7] Of that, more than $40 million was spent on television and radio advertising alone, smashing past House election records.[8] A very high number of voters—140,000—cast ballots during the runoff-election early-voting period, and an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll found that 92 percent of voters said they were watching the race "closely."[7]
