Frequent Changes in Voting Laws
Georgia has experienced a rapid succession of changes to its voting laws since 2020, creating challenges for both election officials and voters. The state legislature has enacted numerous laws affecting various aspects of the voting process, such as tightening absentee voting rules and increasing access for poll watchers. Additionally, recent changes by the Georgia State Election Board provide local officials greater discretion regarding recounting ballots and investigating discrepancies, potentially complicating the certification process. These continuous adjustments not only add layers of complexity for election officials but also perpetuate confusion among voters on election day.
