A special election for the position of Georgia House of Representatives District 146 was called for July 14.[2] A runoff election took place on August 11. The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was June 3.[3]
The seat was vacant following Larry O'Neal's (R) resignation to become the chief judge on the Georgia Tax Tribunal.[4]
Shaw Blackmon (R), Kelly Burke (R) and Larry Walker (R) faced off in a special election.[1] Since no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two vote-getters, Blackmon and Walker, met in a runoff election, which Blackmon won.[5][6]
