TIFTON — The results are in for Tift County voters.

The long delayed presidential primary and general primary were both held June 9.

It’s important to note that this election has seen a record number of absentee voters in Tift County, with 1,952 absentee ballots accepted ahead of the election.

Those absentee ballots still need to be counted, and as such, it’s difficult to call a race for anyone at this moment, except for those running unopposed.

Below you’ll find the results so far. When the absentee ballot counts are finished, we will update our website with new information.
