A special election for the position of Georgia State Senate District 39 was held on November 7, 2017. Because no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote, a special runoff election between the top-two candidates was held on December 5, 2017. It featured Democrats Nikema Williams and Linda Pritchett. Nikema Williams (D) won the runoff election with 51 percent of the vote.[1]

The candidate filing deadline was September 15.[2] The candidates who successfully qualified to run were Republican Nick Carlson and Democrats Elijah Tutt, Linda Pritchett, Marckeith DeJesus, and Nikema Williams.

The seat became vacant following Vincent Fort's (D) resignation in August 2017 to run for mayor of Atlanta.
