- Ballot QR code bill headed to governor after Georgia lawmakers scale back hand-counting requirement
Georgia lawmakers revised a bill to limit hand recounts to the governor or lieutenant governor’s race when the margin is within half a percent, while extending the use of ballot QR codes until 2028. The bill also mandates post-election audits and a committee to select the state’s next voting system, with some provisions favoring hand-marked paper ballots over current machine systems.
