Georgia House District 129 Special Election Date Announced
A date has been announced for a special election to fill the vacancy for Georgia House District 129. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced that December 20, 2022 will be the date for the special primary election in Richmond County.
Voters will choose who will fill the seat of the late Representative Henry “Wayne” Howard.

January 17, 2023 would be the runoff if needed.
