Georgia early voting begins for primary runoffs ahead of June 16 Election Day
MACON, Ga. (WGXA) — Early voting is underway across Georgia for the state’s primary runoff elections, part of a final week of campaigning before voters head to the polls.
The runoffs will determine the major-party candidates for the upcoming general election, following a primary last month where some candidates did not receive a majority of the vote.
MORE INFO ON ELECTION | Georgia Primary Election Day | State, local races across Middle Georgia
Key races include the Republican contest for governor, featuring Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and businessman Rick Jackson. The candidate who wins the runoff will face the Democratic nominee, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, in the fall.
Republicans are also deciding their nominee to challenge incumbent U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff. This race is between U.S. Rep. Mike Collins and former football coach Derek Dooley.
Other runoffs include contests for lieutenant governor. On the Democratic side, Josh McLaurin and Nabila Parks are competing for the nomination. The Republican runoff is between Greg Dolezal and John F. Kennedy.
Georgia Secretary of State GOP candidates Tim Fleming and Vernon Jones are included in the runoff. The winner of the two will challenge the Democratic nominee, either Dana Barrett or Penny Reynolds, who are also in a runoff.

Candidates Marshall Talley and Ron Lemon are on the ballot in the upcoming Bibb County runoff election for the District 2 seat on the Macon Water Authority Board.
Incumbent Monroe County Commissioner Al Turner is also in a Republican primary runoff election with William Kerry Osborne for the District 4 seat.
“I think every election is important,” Said Thomas Gillon, Election Supervisor for Bibb County. “The party you picked for the May election is the party you would need to be voting for this election. If you voted non-partisan in the May election, you can vote for any party in the runoff, but we had about a little over 21,000 people vote in May. I’d like to see at least that many people come out to vote for this one.”
Gillon explained there are three locations to vote in Bibb County: the main office at the Macon Mall (3661 Eisenhower Pkwy, STE MB101), Elaine H. Lucas Senior Center (132 Willie Smokie Glover Drive) and Theron Ussery Community Center (815 N Macon Park Drive). This goes until 5:30 p.m. on Friday.
Under state law, voters who cast a ballot in the initial primary must vote in the same party’s runoff. Registered voters who did not vote in the primary are eligible to participate and may choose either party’s ballot.
State election officials encourage voters to check their designated polling locations and hours, which can vary by county during early voting. Voters can verify their registration status and find their precinct by visiting the official Georgia My Voter Page online.
Election Day is Tuesday, June 16.

$44 Million Georgia Estate, Held by the Same Family for 130 Years, Could Break Jake Paul’s Record Purchase
Spring Creek Plantation will set a record for the most expensive sporting estate in Georgia history if it sells for more than $39 million, which is what YouTube star and boxer Jake Paul paid for a ranch in the state last year.
The property, whose acreage spans two counties, is in the heart of the wild quail belt and offers opportunities to hunt trophy whitetail deer. Other recreational activities include fishing, boating, paddleboarding, jet skiing and sailing.

“A property of this size and ambition rarely becomes available and never stays available long,” said Jon Kohler of Jon Kohler & Associates, who listed it Monday. “It’s 8.5 square miles of land, and almost all of it is one contiguous plot. That’s really rare in the South. It’s more like something you’d see out West.”
After being held by the same family for 130 years, the farm was converted to recreational use, Kohler said, adding that the current landowner “spent an untold amount of money” to transform it into a modern year-round recreational and sporting estate.
Stats
The 5,519-acre property includes a newly built, fully furnished lakefront lodge that’s 5,000 square feet and a 182-acre private spring-fed lake. There’s also a lake house, a 2,167-square-foot guest house, a 2,828-square-foot cottage, and a carriage house that has a three-car garage and a guest suite. The buildings were recently remodeled and are being sold fully furnished.
Amenities
The property produces $500,000 in annual income from farmland and mining royalties, which makes it “one of the highest-yielding recreational properties in the South,” Kohler said.
The price includes $1 million in equipment. There’s a full-time management team in place. The automated irrigation system has 12 center-pivot sprinklers that cover 1,060 acres.
Neighborhood Notes
Spring Creek Plantation is in the Albany Plantation Belt, which Kohler said is “one of the most intensively managed sporting grounds in the Southeast.”
Its location is prime: It’s 10 minutes from a 5,000-foot-long private-jet strip that Kohler said has the added bonus of “allowing you to come and go with anonymity.”
Blakely, the nearest town, is home to Kolomoki Mounds State Park.
“It’s a farming town,” Kohler said. “It looks like the set of the old TV show ‘Dukes of Hazzard.’ With its mom-and-pop shops surrounding the courthouse square, it’s like a little American town.”
Mansion Global Boutique: Why Your Home Needs a Little ‘Ugly Beauty’
One of the plantation’s neighbors is Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures, the largest organic farm in the state, and author of the 2023 memoir “A Bold Return to Giving a Damn.”
Harris, an early and ardent promoter of humane animal husbandry and environmental sustainability, once leased land at Spring Creek Plantation, Kohler said.
