ZEBULON - Pike County Voters had the opportunity to speak their minds at the ballot box on local, state, and federal election races in the November 5, 2024 General Election.

Pike voters had an opportunity to speak out in many races, but there is only one race that is contested here in Pike County. That is the race for Sheriff with Republican Jimmy Thomas (Incumbent) and Challenger Jamal Willis (Independent).

One of two contested district races that were on the Pike ballot includes the US Representative District 3 seat. Brian Jack (Republican) and Maura Keller (Democrat) were on that ballot.

The other contested district race is the State Senate 16 race. Marty Harbin, Republican (Incumbent) and Amili Blake (Democrat) were on that ballot.

Pike County Times will be sitting at the Pike County Registrar's Office until the ballots are counted and the results are announced.

Pike County Time will also be working with WTGA Fun 101.1 News out of Thomaston to get the results on the airwaves for listeners.
