ATLANTA — Georgia election officials on Thursday released the finalized list of candidates who will appear on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election in the Peach State.
Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger released his decision on whether several third party and independent candidates would appear on the ballot, after a state administrative judge had ruled some of them had not properly qualified.
Gabriel Sterling, the chief operating officer in the Georgia Secretary of State's Office, also posted the finalized list on X.
Here's the list of candidates:
List of candidates that will appear on the 2024 Georgia presidential election ballot
- Donald Trump (Republican)
- Kamala Harris (Democrat)
- Chase Oliver (Libertarian)
- Jill Stein (Green)
- Claudia De la Cruz (Independent)
- Cornel West (Independent)
Is that the actual order they'll appear on the ballot?
Indeed, it is. Sterling explained that mechanism in a follow-up X post to another user who had asked about it:
"The law sets the order. 1st position goes to the party that win the governorship. Then number of votes for political party/body. Then independents alphabetical by last name."
So, with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp being a Republican, the Republican candidate -- former President Donald Trump -- appears first on the ballot.
Why is Robert Kennedy not on the ballot?
RFK Jr. dropped out of the 2024 election race as an independent candidate last week, endorsing Trump and filing to withdraw from the Georgia ballot, as he did in other battleground states.
