Georgia makes metro Atlanta local elections nonpartisan for 2028
TL;DR Summary
Gov. Brian Kemp signed HB 369 to convert most local races in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett counties to nonpartisan contests starting in 2028. The move could complicate re-election bids for Democratic prosecutors like Fulton County DA Fani Willis and is expected to trigger legal challenges, as opponents label it racist, unconstitutional, and aimed at curbing power in Georgia’s largest Democratic-leaning region.
