Filing Dates for the Georgia Special Election in the 9th
Congressional District
AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.
ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special election.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Georgia has scheduled a special general election on May 11,
2010, to fill the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the Ninth
Congressional District vacated by Representative Nathan Deal. Under
Georgia law, a majority winner in a non-partisan special election is
declared elected. Should no candidate achieve a majority vote, a
special runoff election will be held on June 8, 2010, between the top
two vote-getters.
Political committees participating in the Georgia special elections
are required to file pre- and post-election reports. Filing deadlines
for these reports are affected by whether one or two elections are
held.
