Record number of executions

In 2016, the State of Georgia executed nine people. This set a record for the most executions conducted in Georgia in a calendar year. The same year, Texas only executed seven people, the first time it did not lead the nation in executions since 2001 (when it ranked behind Oklahoma). Prior to this, the most executions conducted in the state were five executions. This happened in 1987 and again in 2015.

Prior to 1976
