Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) has called a legislative special session on redistricting in Georgia for the 2028 election cycle.

The announcement of the special session, set to start on June 17, comes as Georgia’s GOP has put mounting pressure on Kemp to suspend the state’s 2026 primaries and redraw the congressional map for this year’s midterm election cycle amid a nationwide redistricting effort. The session will convene one month after the state’s May 19 primary elections, and any new changes to the maps would take effect in the 2028 cycle.
