Metropolitan Atlanta primary results show few surprises

After Tuesday’s election primaries, several counties in metro Atlanta will hold runoff elections on June 18 to determine the winner of races in which no candidate received a 51 percent majority of the vote. While primaries essentially decide the winner of the general election, Georgia is one of nine states requiring a runoff.

A runoff election is a second election held to determine a winner when no candidate in the first election has met the threshold required for victory. Runoff elections can be held for both primary and general elections.

Here are Tuesday’s primary election results for 2024.
