In contrast to recent years of sweeping reforms, the Georgia General Assembly took a lighter legislative approach to election law in 2025. Ambitious proposals like HB 397 and SB 175 stalled after passing just one chamber and are now shelved until at least the 2026 session. A House Study Committee may revisit the topic later […]
