Incumbent senator Nikema Williams resigned to run for Georgia's 5th congressional district, which John Lewis represented until his death. A special primary took place on November 3, 2020, and a runoff took place December 1, 2020. No Republican had filed to face Williams in the "general election," so the special primary acted as the general election.

- ^ Because the Lieutenant Governor has the power to break ties in the Senate, a Senate majority requires either 29 seats. Or 28 seats with control of the Lieutenant Governor's office.
