2016 Elections
Choose a chamber below:

All 180 seats in the Georgia House of Representatives were up for election in 2016. Democrats gained one seat in the November 2016 general election.^[1]

HIGHLIGHTS

Since Republicans ran unopposed in so many districts, Democrats had no chances of regaining control of the chamber.

If Democrats were to make any gains, it would have been in the 31 districts that had general election competition between two major party candidates; only six seats were competitive or mildly competitive in 2014.^[2]

Georgia continued to have some of the country's least competitive legislative elections in 2016.

2016 election competitiveness[edit]

Very few general election competitions in Georgia.

Ballotpedia conducts a yearly study of electoral competitiveness in state legislative elections. Details on how well Georgia performed in the study are provided in the image below. Click here for the full 2016 Competitiveness Analysis »

In the Georgia State Senate, there were 17 Democratic incumbents and 39 Republican incumbents. Three incumbents faced primary challengers in the Democratic Party. There were nine primary challenges in the Republican primary.

In the House, there were 61 Democratic incumbents, 118 Republican incumbents, and one independent incumbent. Fifteen state representatives faced primary opposition in the Democratic Party. There were 22 primary challenges in the Republican primary.

Georgia's elections feature one of the lowest rates of general election competition in the nation with 80.5 percent of seats having only one major party candidate. From 2010-2014, the national average was at 38.0 percent.

Overall, 18.6 percent of Democratic incumbents and 21.4 percent of GOP incumbents faced primary opposition in all of the state legislatures with elections in 2016.

The cumulative figure for how many state legislative candidates faced no major party opposition in November in these states was 41.8 percent. This compares to 32.7 percent in 2010, 38.3 percent in 2012, and 43.0 percent in 2014.

Margins of victory[edit]

The average margin of victory for contested races in the Georgia House of Representatives in 2016 was lower than the national average. Out of 180 races in the Georgia House of Representatives in 2016, 32 were contested, meaning at least two candidates competed for that seat in the general election. The average margin of victory across these races was 28 percent. Across contested single-winner state legislative elections in 2016, the average margin of victory was 29.01 percent.^[3]

Democratic candidates in the Georgia House of Representatives saw larger margins of victory than Republican candidates in 2016. Democrats won 62 races. In the 11 races where a winning Democrat faced a challenger, the average margin of victory was 30.7 percent. Republicans won 118 races in 2016. In the 21 races where a winning Republican faced a challenger, the average margin of victory was 26.5 percent.

More Republican candidates than Democratic candidates saw margins of victory that were less than 10 percentage points. Eight of the 32 contested races in 2016—25 percent—saw margins of victory that were 10 percent or less. Five races saw margins of victory that were 5 percent or less. Republicans won five races with margins of victory of 10 percent or less.

Competitiveness[edit]

Candidates unopposed by a major party[edit]

In 149 of the 180 districts that were up for election in 2016, there was only one major party candidate running for election. A total of 51 Democrats and 98 Republicans were guaranteed election barring unforeseen circumstances.

Two major party candidates faced off in the general election in 31 (18.6%) of the 180 districts up for election.

Primary challenges[edit]

A total of 37 incumbents faced primary competition on May 24. Fifteen incumbents did not seek re-election in 2016, two seats were vacant, and another 126 incumbents advanced past the primary without opposition. The following incumbents were defeated in the primary election:

District 84: Rahn Mayo (D)
District 125: Earnest Smith (D)

Primary runoff[edit]

The following incumbents were defeated in a primary runoff election:

District 6: Tom Dickson (R)
District 73: John Yates (R)
District 77: Darryl Jordan (D)

Retired incumbents[edit]

Fifteen incumbent representatives did not run for re-election and 163 (90.5%) ran for re-election. In addition, two seats were vacant at the time of the election. A list of the incumbents that did not run for re-election—seven Democrats, seven Republicans, one Independent—may be found above.

Results from 2014[edit]

See also: 2014 state legislative elections analyzed using a Competitiveness Index

There were 6,057 seats in 87 chambers with elections in 2014. All three aspects of Ballotpedia's Competitiveness Index—the number of open seats, incumbents facing primary opposition, and general elections between partisan candidates—showed poor results compared to the prior election cycle. States with elections in 2014 held fewer general elections between partisan candidates. Additionally, fewer incumbents faced primary opposition and more incumbents ran for re-election than in recent years.

Since 2010, when the Competitiveness Index was established, there had not been an even-year election cycle to do statistically worse in any of the three categories. See the following chart for a breakdown of those scores between each year.

Overall Competitiveness
	2010	2012	2014
Competitiveness Index	36.2	35.8	31.4
% Open Seats	18.6%	21.2%	17.0%
% Incumbent with primary challenge	22.7%	24.6%	20.1%
% Candidates with major party opposition	67.3%	61.7%	57.0%

The following table details Georgia's rates for open seats, incumbents that faced primary challenges, and major party competition in the 2014 general election.

Historical context[edit]

See also: Competitiveness in State Legislative Elections: 1972-2014

Uncontested elections: In 2014, 32.8 percent of Americans lived in states with an uncontested state senate election. Similarly, 40.4 percent of Americans lived in states with uncontested house elections. Primary elections were uncontested even more frequently, with 61 percent of people living in states with no contested primaries. Uncontested elections often occur in locations that are so politically one-sided that the result of an election would be a foregone conclusion regardless of whether it was contested or not.

Open seats: In most cases, an incumbent will run for re-election, which decreases the number of open seats available. In 2014, 83 percent of the 6,057 seats up for election saw the incumbent running for re-election. The states that impose term limits on their legislatures typically see a higher percentage of open seats in a given year because a portion of incumbents in each election are forced to leave office. Overall, the number of open seats decreased from 2012 to 2014, dropping from 21.2 percent in 2012 to 17.0 percent in 2014.

Incumbent win rates: Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of elections between 1972 and 2014 documented the high propensity for incumbents to win re-election in state legislative elections. In fact, since 1972, the win rate for incumbents had not dropped below 90 percent—with the exception of 1974, when 88 percent of incumbents were re-elected to their seats. Perhaps most importantly, the win rate for incumbents generally increased over time. In 2014, 96.5 percent of incumbents were able to retain their seats. Common convention holds that incumbents are able to leverage their office to maintain their seat. However, the high incumbent win rate may actually be a result of incumbents being more likely to hold seats in districts that are considered safe for their party.

Marginal primaries: Often, competitiveness is measured by examining the rate of elections that have been won by amounts that are considered marginal (5 percent or less). During the 2014 election, 90.1 percent of primary and general election races were won by margins higher than 5 percent. Interestingly, it is usually the case that only one of the two races—primary or general—will be competitive at a time. This means that if a district's general election is competitive, typically one or more of the district's primaries were won by more than 5 percent. The reverse is also true: If a district sees a competitive primary, it is unlikely that the general election for that district will be won by less than 5 percent. Primaries often see very low voter turnout in comparison to general elections. In 2014, there were only 27 million voters for state legislative primaries, but approximately 107 million voters for the state legislative general elections.

Campaign contributions[edit]

The following chart shows how many candidates ran for State House in Georgia in past years and the cumulative amount of campaign contributions in State House races, including contributions in both primary and general election contests.^[5]

Georgia House of Representatives Donations
Year	Candidates	Amount
2014	275	$13,221,530
2012	317	$14,769,603
2010	316	$12,353,966
2008	279	$12,254,318
2006	294	$14,979,081

State comparison[edit]

The map below shows the average contributions to 2014 candidates for state houses. The average contributions raised by state house candidates in 2014 was $59,983. Georgia, at $48,078 per candidate, is ranked 22 of 45 for state house chambers with the highest average contributions. Hover your mouse over a state to see the average campaign contributions for that state’s house candidates in 2014.^[5]^[6]

Qualifications[edit]

Paragraph 3 of Section 2 of Article 3 of the Georgia Constitution states: "At the time of their election, the members of the House of Representatives shall be citizens of the United States, shall be at least 21 years of age, shall have been citizens of this state for at least two years, and shall have been legal residents of the territory embraced within the district from which elected for at least one year."^[7]

Footnotes[edit]

↑ Republicans reclaimed two seats left vacant prior to the election.
↑ Under Ballotpedia's competitiveness criteria, districts that have a margin of victory of less than 5 percent are considered highly competitive. Districts that have a margin of victory from 5 to 10 percent are considered mildly competitive.
↑ This calculation excludes chambers that had elections where two or more members were elected in a race. These chambers are the Arizona House, the New Hampshire House, the North Dakota House, the South Dakota House, the Vermont House, the Vermont Senate, and the West Virginia House.
