Election Day Round Two is upon us. Today, Georgians will vote in two Senate runoff elections and make their choice between incumbent Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Purdue and Democratic challengers Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. The Georgia runoff results have far-reaching implications, as Democrats must win both seats in order to force a 50-50 Senate, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris potentially stepping in to cast tie-breaking votes on key legislation.
With this in mind, all eyes are on Georgia tonight (and if the November election is any indication, for many days to come). When do Georgia runoff polls close? How do I watch Georgia runoff election results live? Here’s everything you need to know about the Georgia Senate runoff.

WHEN WILL WE KNOW THE GEORGIA ELECTION RESULTS 2020?
Much like with the November election, it is likely that we won’t know the results of the Georgia Senate runoffs for a few days. Typically, it takes days for states to process every vote, and due to the increase in absentee and mail-in ballots this time around, it will likely take even longer. All that’s to say, settle in for a long wait.
WHAT ARE GEORGIA EXIT POLLS SAYING?
Exit polls for the Georgia Senate runoff will differ depending on the region or polling outlet, but according to CNN, voters seem to be split among predictable lines, with urban and metropolitan areas like Atlanta favoring the Democratic candidates, and more rural regions favoring Republicans.
