The 2018 Georgia State Senate elections took place as part of the United States elections. Georgia voters elected state senators in all 56 of the state senate's districts. State senators serve two-year terms in the Georgia State Senate.
A primary election on May 22, 2018, determined which candidates appeared on the November 6 general election ballot. Primary election results can be obtained from the Georgia Secretary of State's website. A statewide map of Georgia's state Senate districts can be obtained from the Georgia Legislative and Congressional Reapportionment Office here, and individual district maps can be obtained from the U.S. Census here.
Following the 2016 state senate elections, Republicans maintained effective control of the Senate with 38 members. However, on December 5, 2017, Democrats flipped State Senate district 6 after Democrat Jen Jordan won a special election. This decreased Republican seats from 38 to 37 and increased Democratic seats from 18 to 19.
To reclaim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net nine Senate seats and win the concurrent lieutenant gubernatorial election, or net 10 seats without the lieutenant governor's office. Democrats flipped two seatsâÂÂdistricts 40 and 48âÂÂfrom Republican control; however, Republicans retained control of the Georgia State Senate following the 2018 general election.
