Nearly a week after the Nov. 6 Georgia general election, the race for governor was still up in the air, and a number of other races on the ballot were likely to be settled by recounts and / or runoff elections.

A recount can be ordered for any election race in which the margin of victory was less than 1 percent.
Among the races still to be settled as of Nov. 12:
- Secretary of State
- Georgia's 7th Congressional District
- One seat on the state Public Service Commission
- Gwinnett School Board District 2
