Testing for the recount followed immediately by the recount will begin on Wednesday June 17, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. and will continue each day until completed, but no later than Friday, June 26, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The recount will take place at the Pulaski County Board of Elections Office, 45 S Lumpkin St Suite 113 Hawkinsville, Georgia 31036. Pursuant to Georgia law, the affected political party may designate two representatives to be present during the recount, and each affected candidate may be present in person or by representative. The recount proceeding shall be open to the public; however, members of the public will be required to remain within designated viewing areas and comply with all instructions necessary to maintain the orderly conduct of the recount. The recount is being conducted upon formal receipt of a written recount request from candidate Branson Martin following certification of the election results because the margin of victory was less than one half of one percent.
