How Elections Affect You / Why Should I Care?

Election Law Changes and Legal Challenges

In March 2021, the Georgia legislature passed SB202, a bill that significantly changed a number of aspects related to Georgia's election and voting laws. We have highlighted these many, many changes throughout the website to help you understand them and continue to be a successful voter. 

​

In June 2021, the U.S. Department of Justice announced a federal lawsuit had been filed against the State of Georgia over voting restrictions enacted in SB202. As this federal lawsuit, and several others, make their way through the court system, you can be sure we will continue to make any necessary updates to the website to ensure you have accurate and up-to-date voting information.
