Elections 101: How Do News Organizations Project Winners?

Vote counting in Georgia begins and ends at the county level. Each of Georgia’s 159 counties has a local elections office, often led by an appointed election supervisor or election board, responsible for conducting the election process—from checking in voters to counting ballots. This includes certification, a step legally mandated to meet state deadlines. Recent court rulings have affirmed that county boards must certify their results by state deadlines to avoid election delays or legal violations .

Georgians participate in selecting their president through the Electoral College, established to balance the influence of states.

Georgia's votes are crucial in this process.
