VOTING
RESTRICTIONS
Georgia's new law has new requirements for mail in voting, fewer drop boxes, bans non-poll workers from providing drinks and food to those waiting in line to cast their ballot, and invalidating ballots, casted at the wrong precinct that are casted before 5 PM on Election Day. The bill also affirms “mass challenges” to voter eligibility, which means that a person can go into a county clerk's office and seek to have an unlimited number of voters off the rolls deeming them ineligible to vote.
IMPACT ON
STUDENT VOTERS
The new Georgia law requires students to request an absentee ballot starting 11 weeks before an election and return them 11 days before the election. Before, students could request absentee ballots 180 days prior to the election and return them on election day.
