How to Read This
Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 21-2-291), a candidate with no opponent in the general election is certified elected and their name is not printed on the ballot. “On the ballot” below means the race is actually contested on November 3.
Notes
- Websites for first-time or down-ballot candidates change often and can go offline after an election; re-check each link before publishing.
- The Georgia Secretary of State's official candidate list (results.sos.ga.gov) is the authoritative source for final confirmation of every status on this list.

Not Running in November
| Candidate | Why they won't be on the Nov. 3 ballot |
| Carlos Vilela | Lost the Democratic primary for House 42 to incumbent Gabriel Sanchez, 82%–18%. |
| Mary Ann Santos | Lost renomination for House 117 to Kim Thomas Smith. |
| Lamario Brown | Lost the Feb. 2026 special-election runoff for Senate 18 to Republican Steven McNeel; that seat is uncontested for McNeel in November. |
| Karen Gordon (“Karen for Georgia”) | One of four Democrats in the House 130 field; incumbent Sheila Clark Nelson appears to have carried the regular primary. Worth a final check. |
| Sha'Qunta Calles | Same House 130 field as above — did not advance past the Democratic primary. Worth a final check. |
Conflicting Information — Verify Before Publishing
| Candidate | The conflict |
| Lydia Glaize lydiaglaize.com | One tracking site lists her as unopposed, but Georgia's own primary results show a Republican, Daniel Cook, won an uncontested GOP primary for House 67 — which would make this race contested. Verify against the Secretary of State's candidate list before publishing. |
