The 1966 Georgia gubernatorial election was held on November 8,1966. After an election that exposed divisions within the Georgia Democratic Party,segregationist Democrat Lester Maddox was elected Governor of Georgia. The voting also brought future President Jimmy Carter to statewide prominence for the first time. The election was the closest in Georgia gubernatorial history;Republican candidate Bo Callaway won a plurality of the popular vote,but lost the contingent election in the Georgia General Assembly to Maddox. It was also the first time since 1916 that the Republican Party contested a gubernatorial election. If Callaway had won the contingent election or a majority of the popular vote,he would have become the only Republican governor of Georgia in the 20th century.
