Incumbent governor Sonny Perdue (R) was ineligible to seek re-election due to term limits. The Republican primary featured four candidates who received over 15% of the vote in the first round: former Secretary of State Karen Handel, former U.S. representative Nathan Deal, former Georgia state senator Eric Johnson, and Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine.{{cite web |title=Official Results of the Tuesday, July 20, 2010 General Primary Election [Governor, Republican] |url=http://sos.ga.gov/elections/election_results/2010_0720/0020001.htm |website=Georgia Election Results |publisher=Georgia Secretary of State |access-date=26 August 2018}} Handel, Deal, and Johnson all resigned their offices during or shortly before the campaign. Because no candidate received a majority of the vote, the race went to a runoff between the top two candidates, Handel and Deal.
