District 39
Incumbent senator Nikema Williams resigned to run for Georgia's 5th congressional district, which John Lewis represented until his death. A special primary took place on November 3, 2020, and a runoff took place December 1, 2020. No Republican had filed to face Williams in the general election, so the special primary acted as the general election.
