Georgia lawmakers launch statewide review of election procedures ahead of 2026
ATLANTA — State leaders are launching a new effort to review how elections are run in Georgia, with the goal of ensuring secure, transparent, and efficient voting ahead of the 2026 election cycle.
State Rep. Victor Anderson (R-Cornelia), vice chairman of the House Blue-Ribbon Study Committee on Election Procedures, announced the committee’s 2025 meeting schedule this week. The bipartisan panel will travel across Georgia starting this summer to hear from election officials, experts, and the public.
“As we announce these meetings, I want to emphasize our commitment to upholding the integrity of Georgia’s elections,” said Anderson. “We’re taking a close look at how elections are administered at both the state and local levels. Our mission is to make smart, common-sense recommendations that build public trust ahead of next November’s elections.”
House Speaker Jon Burns (R-Newington) praised the committee’s work, pointing to past efforts to tighten election security — including adding watermarks to paper ballots, requiring ID for absentee voting, and securing ballot drop boxes.
