2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia

The 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia were held on November 5, 2024, to elect the fourteen U.S. representatives from the State of Georgia, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections coincided with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections were held on May 21, 2024.

Background

Following the Supreme Court decision in Allen v. Milligan that upheld key anti-gerrymandering provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, requiring the state of Alabama to create a second majority-Black congressional district, it was expected that a number of other Southern states with significant Black populations would see court challenges to their congressional maps. On October 26, 2023, a district court judge in Georgia similarly found that Georgia's congressional maps, enacted as part of the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, were illegally racially gerrymandered. The state of Georgia accepted the judge's findings, and the Georgia General Assembly convened to pass legislation to establish a new congressional map to be used in future elections until 2032 (when new maps will be adopted to reflect changes in the 2030 United States census); Governor Brian Kemp signed the legislation. Judge Steve C. Jones, who struck down the previous maps, accepted the new maps the legislature approved to be used in future election cycles as they met the standards he set in ensuring the districts comply with the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The partisan split of the map remains the same, with nine seats leaning toward the Republican Party and five seats leaning toward the Democratic Party. The changes affect the Metro Atlanta area, with an additional Black-majority district added (the 6th) in Western Atlanta, including parts of the city of Atlanta, southern and western Fulton County and most of Douglas County, including Douglasville which are majority-Black, as well as a small portion of Fayette County and southern Cobb County, which are majority-minority. The 4th district retains most of DeKalb County, but extends into a portion majority-minority Gwinnett County instead of Rockdale County and Newton County. The 13th district maintains most of the parts of Clayton County (exchanging a small sliver for DeKalb County) and maintains its portion in Henry County, but also includes Rockdale County and Newton County, formerly in the 4th district, and extends into southern Gwinnett County. This maintains three majority-Black districts that also now reflect the community of interest in western and southern Atlanta. The former 7th district, which was a majority-minority district where no single ethnic group was dominant, consisted mostly of Gwinnett County as well as John's Creek; it was disbanded as other districts took its portions. The 7th district became what was formerly the 6th district and remained mostly unchanged; however, it now lost its territory in Cobb and Gwinnett counties in exchange for nearly all of North Fulton (a distinct COI closely corresponding with the former Milton County) as well as portions of Hall County and Lumpkin County in North Georgia; which the 9th district lost in exchange for more of Gwinnett County. Additionally, the 10th district gained Eastern Gwinnett County in exchange for counties in Northern Georgia also from the 9th. Finally, the 11th district now contains northeastern Cobb County as well as Gordon County, and the 14th district now contains northwestern Cobb County and lost Gordon County.
