2026 Georgia Court of Appeals election
May 19, 2026

The 2026 Georgia Court of Appeals election will be held on May 19, 2026, to elect three judges to the Georgia Court of Appeals. The elections are officially nonpartisan, though candidates may receive the support of political parties.

Since 1896, justices on the Supreme Court and judges on the Court of Appeals have been directly elected in statewide elections. Judicial elections were made non-partisan in 1983. Elections for nonpartisan state judgeships have been held on the date of the legislative primary since 2012, and were previously held on the general election ballot in November during even-numbered years.
