Tie for Ward 3 Macon City Councilman Race Stands After Recount

The Macon County Clerk’s Office conducted a recount yesterday following a tie for one of the races in Tuesday’s Municipal Election. In the Ward 3 City Councilman race in the City of Macon, both Chris Walk and Jeff Skjeveland received 23 votes each. The recount showed the same results. Once the results aer certified by the Secretary of State, the City of Macon will move forward with tie break pursuant to state statute. One of two things can happen, a special election can be called or if both candidates agree, a drawing can take place to break the tie.
