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.
2020 General Election Georgia State Senate District 39 Special Primary Election[40]
^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.
