Democrats now hold a slim majority in the Georgia House for the first time in 22 years, reaching 91 seats after House District 29 was called for Democrat Scott Soracco. Districts 103 and 154 were also still uncalled.

The result gives Democrats control of the House, but not the Senate. Republicans retained that chamber with 29 seats, compared with 27 for Democrats.

House District 151 is headed to a Dec. 1 runoff because neither Republican incumbent Mike Cheokas nor Democratic challenger Ethan Wolfe received more than 50% of the vote. Early in-person voting is scheduled to begin Nov. 23.

The next Georgia legislative session is scheduled to begin Jan. 11, 2027.
