  • 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

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 counties and precincts. 

The massive increase in Georgia citizens voting by mail this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic means ballot counting will take longer than usual and many races will not be called until late Tuesday or Wednesday.
