Your Ballot
Georgia Deserves Better.
Your vote has the power to deliver it.
Election Day
Tuesday, May 19th
Early Voting Begins April 27 - May 15
On May 19, Georgia voters like you have the power to transform what we believe is possible for our state. In this election, we’ll get our only say on who sits on the Georgia Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, meaning these elections won’t appear on the November ballot. We’ll also take our first step in choosing statewide nominees for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and more.
The most important race on your ballot is for the Georgia Supreme Court, where two contested seats will determine who serves on the court that decides our rights and whether we hold powerful interests accountable. While these elections are officially nonpartisan, making it harder for you to know who shares your values, the candidates often have explicitly partisan backgrounds. For years, early retirements have created a system where 8 of 9 current justices were appointed by Governors rather than first elected by Georgia voters.
No sitting justice for Georgia Supreme Court has lost an election in 104 years. We’re a youth organization helping Georgians of every age make smart choices on the ballot. As a reminder, who you vote for is private, but whether or not you vote is public record. For more information about every race on your ballot, let us know your districts and that you’re committed to voting in this election by pledging to vote here.
