With July 1 deadline looming, lawmakers puzzle over what to do about Georgia’s election system
Georgia lawmakers face a July 1 deadline to address the state's election system, which uses QR codes for ballot counting. A 2024 law prohibits QR codes after July, but prior legislative sessions failed to allocate the $66 million needed for new equipment. An alternate proposal to extend the deadline to 2028 passed the House in 2026 but stalled in the Senate, leaving the issue unresolved.
