- New panel begins work reviewing options for Georgia’s next election system
A committee in Georgia is tasked with selecting a new statewide election system, moving away from ballot QR codes. The current system using ballot-marking devices will remain until 2028, with a special committee established to recommend hand-marked paper ballot systems by February 2027.
- With July 1 deadline looming, lawmakers puzzle over what to do about Georgia’s election system
Georgia lawmakers face a July 1 deadline to address the state's election system, which uses QR codes for ballot counting. A 2024 law prohibits QR codes after July, but prior legislative sessions failed to allocate the $66 million needed for new equipment. An alternate proposal to extend the deadline to 2028 passed the House in 2026 but stalled in the Senate, leaving the issue unresolved.
