Updated: Wikipedia source
The 2025 Georgia Public Service Commission special election was held in the U.S. state of Georgia on November 4, 2025, to elect two members to the Georgia Public Service Commission. Primary elections were held on June 17, 2025, and primary runoffs were held on July 15, 2025. The special election for District 2 will be for a term ending in 2030, while the special election for District 3 will be for a term ending in 2026. It is the first special election for a statewide office since the 2020–21 U.S. Senate special and runoff and for a statewide non-federal office since the PSC special election in 1998, as well as the first odd-year statewide non-federal election since the 1883 gubernatorial special election. It was held concurrently with multiple municipal elections across the state. Democrats Alicia Johnson, who ran for District 2, and Peter Hubbard, who ran for District 3, flipped both seats, defeating Republican incumbents Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson in a landslide, respectively. It was the first time that Democrats won any seats on the PSC since the 2000 elections or any statewide non-federal offices since the 2006 elections. Johnson also became the first African American woman on the PSC, as well as the first African American woman ever elected to statewide office in Georgia.
