Senate OKs switching state primary to May
Placeholder Image
ATLANTA — The Georgia Senate on Tuesday approved moving the state’s 2014 primary election date to May 20 from its original July 15 date. The move is aimed to keep the state primary on the same date as the federal primary. The latter was moved last year after a federal judge ruled the state must build in more time between the federal primary and runoff to allow for the return and counting of overseas absentee ballots.
