Georgia set to reform voting system to prioritize paper ballots, hand counting ahead of midterms

Georgia is on the verge of reforming its voting system to prioritize paper ballots and hand-count verification for touch-screen early votes following new recommendations from a commission formed to assess the state’s voting procedures in the wake of the 2020 election disputes.

The recommendations, if finalized by the Georgia General Assembly through legislation, will likely be implemented before the 2026 midterm elections later this year.



In November 2021, one year after the 2020 presidential election, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp referred the “sloppy” and “inconsistent” election data maintained by the county to the State Elections Board after multiple reviews found significant problems with absentee ballot counting that included duplicate tallies, math errors, and transposed data.

Salleigh Grubbs, a new member of the Georgia State Election Board, said she felt "disbelief" that the FBI was raiding the Fulton election hub, and that it had "been a long time coming."
