Georgia Voters Head to Polls for Special Election in 13th District
Georgia’s 13th Congressional District is holding a special election runoff to fill the seat previously held by the late Representative David Scott. Voters are choosing between Marcye Scott and Everton Blair to serve the remainder of the current term.
Voters in Georgia’s 13th Congressional District are casting ballots today in a special election runoff to determine who will represent the district for the remainder of the year. The seat became vacant following the death of longtime Representative David Scott (D).
The runoff election was triggered after no candidate in the initial primary reached the 50% threshold required to secure the nomination outright. The two candidates remaining in the race are Marcye Scott, the daughter of the late representative, and Everton Blair, a former member of the Gwinnett County Board of Education.
While the election is being held to fill the immediate vacancy, the outcome will determine representation for the district through the end of the current congressional term. Polls are open throughout the day, and results are expected to be tabulated following the close of voting.
