Georgia Primary Date Set By State Executive Committee
Georgia party leaders prepare for a later primary date under new election laws. The state executive committee meets Saturday in the city to fix the date, with September contemplated for the primary and November elections governing governor and other state officers. The 1914 law changes set elections for the governor and other state offices on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, biennially, aligning with general election timing and eliminating the need for two elections in presidential years.
