context_page_description: The 2008 United States Senate election in Georgia took place on November 4, 2008. The run off election took place on December 2, 2008. Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss, first elected in 2002, sought re-election to his position as a United States Senator from Georgia. He was challenged by Democratic nominee Jim Martin and Libertarian nominee Allen Buckley. After a runoff election on December 2, Chambliss was elected.
  The runoff was necessary as neither Chambliss nor Martin, the two major party candidates, had won a majority of the vote in the first round. Early voting hours are set by county, and starts November 17 or November 18. The Georgia Board of Elections maintains a list of times and locations on Georgia Early Voting and Advanced Voting by county. Prior to the runoff, advanced polls were open from November 24 to the 26th. Since the election is a run-off, only those voters who registered in time for the general election could cast ballots.
context_section_description: As no candidate reached a majority on November 4, a runoff election was held on December 2, which Chambliss won.
