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

Georgia's election system, which uses QR codes on ballots, faces a July 1, 2026, deadline to stop relying on them for official vote counts. Lawmakers are convening a special session to address the issue, as no replacement method has been implemented, risking confusion or litigation. Conflicting guidance from state officials and a pending special election in July heighten concerns.
