The Georgia gubernatorial election of 1962 was held on November 6. This election was notable for a number of reasons: First, it was the last gubernatorial election in Georgia to date where the Republican Party did not field a candidate. Second, the primary election was the first that took place under a winner-take-all system, as the previously used County Unit System had been struck down by the US Supreme Court in Gray v. Sanders.[1] Finally, upon election, Carl Sanders became the youngest governor of a state at the time (aged 37) and the first governor from an urban area since the 1920s.[2]
