Unofficial results are in for Macon-Bibb County elections after data from all precincts was sent to the Georgia secretary of state Wednesday morning.

Voters in Bibb County were tasked with voting for mayor, sheriff, one school board seat and several county commission seats, as well as one partisan legislative seat.

Here’s what to know about results.

Macon-Bibb County Commission has run-offs

Two seats on the Macon-Bibb County Commission will be decided by run-off next month after candidates failed to get a majority of the vote.

Seven seats were up for grabs, and a handful had decisive winners Tuesday. But crowded candidate fields in District 3 and District 8 led to two candidates in each district needing to compete again next month. Read about county commission results here.
