The 2024 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Georgia voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Georgia has 16 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which it neither gained nor lost a seat.

Prior to the election, Georgia was considered to be a crucial swing state; rapid population growth in Georgia, particularly in Metro Atlanta, has led the state to become politically competitive in recent years.

Republican Donald Trump, representing neighboring Florida, flipped Georgia back into the Republican column, winning with a majority and a margin of 2.20% over Democrat Kamala Harris. Despite Trump's win, Harris made modest gains in the South Atlanta suburbs, further consolidating Democratic support in urban and suburban areas and signaling growing potential challenges for Republicans in future elections federally, though Republicans did see a rebound in the northern parts of the Atlanta Metro including Fulton County and Gwinnett County. Republicans also saw significant gains in the rest of the state. This was the closest margin of victory for a Republican in Georgia since 1996, with Georgia again voting to the left of the neighboring states of North Carolina and Florida, as well as Arizona and Nevada, signaling that Georgia's political future is uncertain despite its red tilt.

Georgia voted just 0.72% to the right of the nation, the closest Georgia has come to voting to the left of the nation since Jimmy Carter won his home state in 1980. Only the three Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin were closer in margin of victory than Georgia. Georgia and North Carolina were the only battleground states in 2024 in which Trump's performance did not shift to the right relative to his 2016 performance.

Even though Harris lost the state, Georgia was one of the few states to have many counties shift significantly leftward, mostly in the Atlanta Metro, and Harris won a slightly higher share of the state vote than she won nationally (48.3%). Harris made her largest gain compared to 2020 in Henry County, with the county swinging leftward by almost 9%.

Trump received more than 2.66 million votes, setting a record for most votes cast for any candidate in the history of Georgia and became the second Republican ever to carry the state twice after George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004.

Voting rule changes

On July 29, 2024, the state added another way to cancel a voter's registration through an online portal, which has drawn criticism from groups like Fair Fight Action, who worried that it would be abused. By August 5, cybersecurity researcher Jason Parker discovered a vulnerability in Georgia's voter cancellation portal that allowed users to bypass the requirement for a driver's license number, enabling the submission of voter registration cancellations with minimal, publicly available information. The discovery drew attention to weaknesses in the system and the importance of continued efforts to secure election infrastructure.

In August 2024, the Georgia State Election Board enacted two new rules that could deputize local election officials more discretion on whether they certify the election, contrary to state and national precedent. The Democratic party has filed a lawsuit to stop the new rules from taking effect, which a judge agreed with on October 16, blocking the new rule.

Ballot access Votes for Claudia De la Cruz and Cornel West were not counted even though they appeared on the ballot. After an administrative law judge disqualified Claudia De la Cruz and Cornel West from the ballot due to their electors not registering in their own name, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger overruled the judge on August 29, 2024. Republicans have been working to get West and De la Cruz on the ballot, while Democrats have been working to keep them off. If the ruling were upheld, it would be the first time since 1946 that more than four candidates would be on the ballot. On September 12, 2024, a judge disqualified both West and De la Cruz from running for president in Georgia. On September 25, the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously confirmed the ruling, keeping votes for De la Cruz and West from counting even though Raffensperger kept both on the ballot, saying there was not enough time to reprint the ballots.

Election security In early 2023, Georgia's state legislature denied the Georgia Secretary of State's $25 million request to implement the 2022 security update for Dominion Voting Systems machines before the 2024 elections. However, QR codes will be eliminated by 2026 in favor of text the voter can read to ensure their ballot was marked correctly. Audits will be used to gauge how the machines are faring in 2024.

, the Georgia State Election Board recommended that specific people serve as election monitors in Fulton County despite having no authority to make this recommendation. Each county decides who monitors each election precinct.

As of the 28th of January 2026, the FBI is executing a search warrant at Fulton County elections office near Atlanta. An FBI spokesperson said agents were "executing a court authorized law enforcement action" at the county's main election office in Union City.
