Ballot language
Georgia law (Code Section 21-2-4 of the O.C.G.A.) requires that when an election will take place on proposed statutes, the Georgia Secretary of State must provide a neutral summary and explanation of each proposal.
The question and description are incorporated into a voter guide that voters may consult prior to casting their vote.
