Elections
2018
A special election for the position of Georgia House of Representatives District 111 was held on January 9, 2018. The filing deadline for candidates running in this election was December 8, 2017. A runoff election would have been held on February 6, 2018, if no candidate had received over 50 percent of the vote.[1]
The seat was left vacant after the resignation of Brian Strickland (R). Strickland resigned from the state House in order to run for District 17 of the Georgia State Senate.[2] The Georgia Constitution requires that elected officials vacate their positions upon qualifying to run in an election for another position.
Geoffrey Cauble (R) defeated El-Mahdi Holly (D), Tarji Leonard Dunn (D), and Larry Morey (R) in the general election.[3]
