The Georgia judicial elections in 2012 will follow a different schedule than the elections of 2010. Then, judicial candidates participated in both the primary and general elections, but in 2012 candidates will run only in the primary election. Both Republican and Democratic candidates will run in the primary. If a runoff is required, candidates will compete in the primary election runoff. [1] [2]
In August 2011, the U.S. Department of Justice authorized Secretary of State Brian Kemp to set the date of the primary election. It will be decided by December 1, 2011 and cannot be earlier than late January 2012 or later than mid-June 2012. [3]

Coweta Judicial Circuit race
As featured in JP Election Brief: Changing the rules in Florida and Nevada (and more!) on April 19, 2012.
The race between Kevin McMurry and Emory Palmer for a seat on the Coweta Judicial Circuit is heating up. Both men are respected area trial lawyers, and both have now lined up endorsements from prominent Carroll County attorneys.[1] Carrolton criminal defense attorney Jason Swindle and District Attorney Pete Skandalakis have endorsed McMurry. Carrollton attorney Tommy Greer is backing Palmer.[1]
The men are vying to replace longtime judge Allen B. Keeble, who is retiring in December 2012 at the end of his current term. The race for this seat is a special, nonpartisan race, which will be present on both the Democratic and Republican tickets in the July 31, 2012 primary election.[1]
