The 2026 Georgia Supreme Court election was held on May 19, 2026, to elect three justices to the Supreme Court of Georgia. The elections are officially nonpartisan, though candidates may receive the support of political parties.
Since 1896, justices on the Supreme Court and judges on the Court of Appeals have been directly elected in statewide elections. Judicial elections were made non-partisan in 1983. Elections for nonpartisan state judgeships have been held on the date of the legislative primary since 2012, and were previously held on the general election ballot in November during even-numbered years.
Two of the three seats up for election are being contested by multiple candidates.
Campaign Incumbent conservative justices Charlie Bethel and Sarah Warren, both appointed by former Republican governor Nathan Deal, are being challenged by liberal candidates Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan respectively. The election being held in the immediate aftermath of the Louisiana v. Callais decision, both liberal candidates have made voting rights central themes of their campaigns, with abortion rights, particularly their opposition to Georgia's six week abortion ban, also receiving attention. Incumbent justice Benjamin Land, appointed by Republican governor Brian Kemp, is running for his seat unopposed. No incumbent justice on the Georgia Supreme Court has lost re-election in over 100 years.
