What PeachTracker covers

We track every contested local race on the Georgia Primary & Nonpartisan General ballot in Macon-Bibb County — Board of Education, Water Authority, and State Legislature. We show up to the Board of Elections on election night and enter results by hand as precincts report.

Some races on your ballot are unopposed— meaning one candidate filed and no one challenged them. Therefore, those races have no results to report, so we note them below but don’t track vote totals. For statewide races like Governor and U.S. Senate, we link out to the Georgia Secretary of State’s official results page.

November 2026 General Election 2026-11-03
On the ground

We’re on-site at the Macon-Bibb Board of Elections on election night, entering vote totals into this page by hand as each precinct reports. No algorithm, no estimate — just the numbers posted in the lobby, delivered to you in minutes instead of hours.

Because Macon deserves to know.

Local election results in Macon-Bibb are delivered the old-fashioned way — on paper, in person, at the Board of Elections lobby. That’s how the county has always done it, and PeachTracker doesn’t change a thing about how it works.

We just thought it’d be nice if folks who couldn’t make it down there could still follow along. So we show up, watch the numbers come in, and post them here. A community project, for the community.

A note on these results
PeachTracker is not affiliated with Macon-Bibb County government. Results displayed here are unofficial until certified by the Macon-Bibb County Board of Elections. A small number of provisional ballots may remain to be counted.
