The 2018 Georgia Secretary of State election was held on November 6, 2018, to elect the Secretary of State of Georgia, the 2018 gubernatorial election, as well as elections for the United States Senate and elections for the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Republican Incumbent Secretary of State Brian Kemp chose not to run for re-election in order to run for governor. Since no candidate received the requisite 50 percent of the vote, the top two candidates, Democrat John Barrow and Republican Brad Raffensperger proceeded to a runoff on December 4, 2018. At 22.98%, the runoff had the lowest voter turnout of any Georgia statewide election since the senate runoff of 1992.
