## Public data API

Base URL: http://localhost:8080/api/ga-2026-general

Free, no key needed, read-only JSON. Always add compact=1: it removes repeated catalog data, often making responses dozens of times smaller, without dropping any numbers. Responses are cached for five minutes and the data changes about once a day, so fetch only what a question needs.

Every link below works exactly as written. Some AI tools can only open links that appear in a document they have read, so use these rather than building new URLs. [llms-full.txt](http://localhost:8080/data/ga-2026-general/llms-full.txt) has a ready-made link for every county and district.

### Endpoints

- GET /meta: report facts and label maps.
- GET /overview: totals for one selection (metrics).
- GET /daily: one row per return date (accepted, inPerson, mail, electronic, cumulativeAccepted).
- GET /crosstab?groupBy=...: 2026 totals by voter group.
- GET /by/{county|state_house|state_senate|congressional}: 2026 totals for every area at that level.
- GET /geographies?dimension={county|state_house|state_senate|congressional}&compare=...&reference=...&fields=table: every area at that level with 2026 values (current), past values (comparisons[year]) and changes (comparisonChanges[year]).
- GET /voter-groups?groupBy=...&compare=...&reference=...&fields=table: the same, by voter group.
- GET /history/{year}/{overview|daily|crosstab|by-county|by-state_house|by-state_senate|by-congressional}?mode=matched|full: one past election. Years: 2014 through 2025, and 2026P for the May 2026 primary. Pass 2026 dates; matched mode lines them up by days before that election's Election Day.
- GET /projection: projected final early-vote total with an 80% range, based on how early voting built in past Georgia generals. A projection, not a prediction of results.

### Parameters

- from, to: return dates as YYYY-MM-DD. to cannot be later than meta.dataThrough. from=2026-09-03 includes every ballot returned before in-person voting began on Oct. 13, 2026.
- dimension and id: limit to one area, e.g. dimension=county&id=FULTON (county names in capitals with no spaces, e.g. BENHILL, JEFFDAVIS, MCDUFFIE), dimension=state_house&id=061 (district numbers as three digits). Leave both out, or use dimension=statewide, for Georgia. An id that does not match returns zeros, not an error, so copy ids from llms-full.txt.
- Voter filters (any combination): age_range, gender, race, registration_status, reg_group, pattern, prev_general, prev_primary, last_party_primary. Codes include age_range=18-34|35-54|55-64|65+, race=WHITE|BLACK|HISPANIC|ASIAN|OTHER, gender=F|M; meta lists the rest.
- groupBy: up to three of the voter-filter names, comma-separated.
- ballotMethod: in-person, mail or electronic. Leave out for all ballots.
- compare: comma-separated past years (e.g. 2022,2024); reference: the year that changes are measured against.
- mode: matched (same point before Election Day) or full (final count).

## Definitions

- accepted: Ballots the Georgia Secretary of State lists as accepted: early in-person, mail and electronic (overseas and military). Not votes for any candidate or party.
- inPerson, mail, electronic: Accepted ballots by how they were cast.
- registered: Active and inactive registered voters in the same area or group, from the voter list dated meta.voterFileAsOf.
- turnoutRate: accepted / registered, as a fraction (0.0901 = 9.01%).
- comparisons[year]: The same measures for a past election. In mode=matched it is lined up by days before Election Day; in mode=full it is that election's final early-vote count.
- comparisonChanges[year]: Change from that election to 2026: accepted (ballots), percent, turnoutPoints (percentage points). available=false means not comparable, and the numbers are omitted.
- fultonGwinnett2022: true when a 2022 comparison is held back because 2022 Fulton and Gwinnett early-vote records are incomplete for that date.
- null: Unavailable or not comparable. Never treat it as zero.

## Caveats

- Counts are accepted ballots, not votes for any candidate or party.
- Odd-year elections (2015 through 2025) were local and special contests with much smaller electorates. Use them for context, not as a benchmark.
- District lines change between elections, so the same district number can describe a different place; district changes are not comparable when the lines moved.
- geog_id UNMAPPED collects ballots that could not be placed in a district. They count in statewide and county totals but are not a district.
- The latest day is often incomplete when first published and can rise in the next update.
