The State of Georgia has now posted something called:
House of Representatives
Blue-Ribbon Study Committee on Election Procedures
Blue-Ribbon Study Committee Report
If this is all they came up with, many folks will be very disappointed. Here are the contents:
Recommendations
The following recommendations are offered by the blue-ribbon study committee related to
election procedures in this state:
- Extend the existence of the House Blue-Ribbon Study Committee on Election Procedures
through December 31, 2026. Allow the committee to continue meeting, as necessary, and
offer further recommendations on topics related to elections in the state. - In order to ensure compliance with the intent of SB 189 (2024 Session), the General
Assembly should adopt legislation to provide voters with the option to utilize pre-printed,
hand-marked paper ballots on Election Day, beginning with the 2026 General Election.
The legislation should require all ballots that contain a QR code of any kind to be hand
counted for the purposes of official tabulation. Scanner tabulation of QR code ballots is
for unofficial results only. - The General Assembly should adopt legislation during the 2026 session to provide for the
procurement of Georgia’s next statewide voting system. The General Assembly should
provide funds in the FY 2027 budget to allow for the purchasing of a new statewide
uniform voting system
