The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Georgia in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 11, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
There were 236 state legislative seats up for election this year in Georgia. Across those, 16 incumbents (10 Democrats and six Republicans) did not file to run for re-election. That was the fewest number of retirements in a decade. From 2010 to 2022, the average number of retirements per cycle was 28. In 2022, 48 incumbents (23 Democrats and 25 Republicans) did not run for re-election.
The total number of contested primaries (with more than one candidate) was also a decade-low. In 2024, there were 70 contested primaries (39 Democratic and 31 Republican) out of a possible 472, a rate of 14.8%. This was the lowest number since 2014 when 13.1% of primaries had more than one candidate. In 2022, there were 104 primaries (51 Democratic and 53 Republican) for a rate of 22.0% contested primaries.

Footnotes
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
