2020-2021 election arising from the resignation of Republican Class III Senator Johnny Isakson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A special election was held to elect a Senator from the U.S. state of Georgia in two rounds on November 3, 2020; and January 5, 2021. It was held because Republican Class III Senator Johnny Isakson resigned. Raphael Warnock got the most votes with 32.9%, and Kelly Loeffler came in second with 25.9% in the first round. Because no one got more than 50% of votes, a second round was held between the two highest.[1] Warnock is projected to win the second round of the election.[2] The regular Class II election was also held on the same dates with two rounds.

Since no candidate won more than 50% of the vote on November 3, the top two finishers—Republican Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Raphael Warnock—went to a January 5, 2021 runoff election.[3][4]
