An Entity of Type: societal event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The 1940 Georgia gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 1940, in order to elect the Governor of Georgia. Incumbent Democratic Governor Eurith D. Rivers was term-limited, and ineligible to run for a third term. As was common at the time, the Democratic candidate ran with only token opposition in the general election so therefore the Democratic primary was the real contest, and winning the primary was considered tantamount to election.
