The 2026 Georgia's 14th congressional district special election was held on March 10, 2026, to fill the vacancy in Georgia's 14th congressional district. The winner will serve in the United States House of Representatives for the remainder of the 119th United States Congress, which will end on January 3, 2027. The seat became vacant on January 5, 2026, when incumbent Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned.
Under Georgia law, all candidates appeared on one ballot in the March 10 special election. As no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, a runoff between Republican Clayton Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris will be held on April 7, 2026.
Background
On November 21, 2025, Greene announced her resignation from Congress effective January 5, 2026, citing her disagreements with President Donald Trump over his handling of the Epstein files. The following day, Governor Brian Kemp scheduled a special election for March 10, 2026, with a runoff set for April 7 if no candidate receives a majority of the vote.
