Georgia's vote-counting method will soon be banned. Lawmakers will try to find a fix this week

Georgia lawmakers are addressing a law that bans the use of QR codes for vote counting after July 1, 2026, as no replacement system has been implemented. Conflicting guidance from election officials and unresolved issues could lead to confusion or legal challenges in upcoming elections. The system, used since 2020, faced criticism after unfounded claims of vote tampering in the 2020 presidential election.
