US EditionRunoff to Decide Democratic Nominee for Georgia's Public Service Commission
FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, JUL 15 – Peter Hubbard won the Democratic runoff for Georgia PSC District 3 with 58.2% of the vote amid historically low turnout, setting up a November contest against Republican Fitz Johnson.
- On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, Georgia voters statewide cast ballots in the PSC District 3 runoff, with 77 of 159 counties opening only one polling site due to under 1% turnout.
- After no candidate secured a majority in the June 17 primary, a runoff occurred under Georgia law following a 2020 lawsuit challenging election procedures.
- Early voting ran from July 7 to July 11, but turnout remained low at fewer than 33,000 ballots, just 0.4%, while Associated Press reported costs could exceed $100 per voter.
- Keisha Waites emphasized her readiness, saying `Let's focus on the facts and compare qualifications — I'm the only candidate ready to deliver from day one,` while Peter Hubbard stated `With solar, you build it once and there's no fuel costs,` and the winner will face Fitz Johnson on Nov. 4.
- Decisions by the five-member board directly impact Georgia residents, as the Georgia Public Service Commission sets rates for 2.3 million customers, and the District 3 winner can run again next year for a six-year term.
