In one of the most consequential midterm elections in recent memory, millions of Georgians have already cast their ballots.

More than 2.4 million votes were tallied during a two-week early voting period — a midterm record — a number driven by several high-profile races that have captured national attention: incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp is facing Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams (a rematch of the narrow 2018 race) and Sen. Raphael Warnock is battling Republican challenger Herschel Walker.

Another key battle for the balance of power in Congress is the House District 2 race between longtime Democratic incumbent Rep. Sanford Bishop and Republican challenger Chris West. District 2 covers a huge swath of Georgia, from Macon to Columbus down to Albany.

House District 8 Incumbent Rep. Austin Scott (R) is battling Democratic challenger Darius Butler.

Other statewide races include lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, state superintendent of schools, agriculture commissioner, labor commissioner and fire & insurance commissioner.

In Macon, the only contested race is for Macon Water Authority District 2, where five candidates are vying to fill the spot vacated by Desmond Brown, including Brown himself, who lost a bid for the MWA chair earlier this year.

Houston County Commissioner Post 2 is open, and voters will select either Shane Gottwals (R) or Tim Riley (D).
