General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Georgia in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 2, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Fifty-five candidates ran for Georgia’s 14 U.S. House districts, including 30 Democrats and 25 Republicans. That’s 3.9 candidates per district, lower than the 5.9 candidates per district in 2022 and the 5.5 in 2020.
This was the first election to take place after Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) signed revised congressional maps into law on Dec. 8, 2023.
The 3rd Congressional District was the only open district in 2024, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That’s one less than in 2022, when two seats were open. There were three open seats in 2020, none in 2018, one in 2016, and three in 2014.
Incumbent Drew Ferguson (R-3rd) did not run for re-election because he retired from public office.
As a result of redistricting in Georgia, two incumbents ran for re-election in different districts than the ones they represented. Lucy McBath (D-7th) ran in the 6th Congressional District and Rich McCormick (R-6th) ran in the 7th Congressional District.
Nine candidates—seven Democrats and two Republicans—ran for the 13th Congressional District, the most candidates that ran for a seat in 2024.
Twelve primaries—eight Democratic and four Republican—were contested in 2024. Seventeen primaries were contested in 2022, 16 primaries were contested in 2020, and 13 were in 2018.
Three incumbents—two Democrats and one Republican—were in contested primaries, the fewest this decade.
Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all 14 districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
