Official Live Results
Results come straight from the Georgia Secretary of State's official Election Night Reporting system. We link to the source rather than re-publishing numbers, so what you see is always the authoritative count.
Open Official GA Results →Polls close at 7 p.m. Counties first report early and absentee-by-mail totals, then Election Day precincts as they finish. Close races can take days to certify. Unofficial election-night numbers are not final results.
Georgia requires a candidate to win a majority (more than 50%), not just the most votes. If no one clears 50%, the top two advance to a runoff — June 16 after the primary, or December 1 after the general.
