Georgia Must Take These 12 Steps to Adequately Fund Elections
Over the course of this series, we have shown how insufficient state funding puts Georgia’s election infrastructure at risk. This research has been grounded in interviews with a diverse array of election supervisors from counties large and small, across the state. We have learned that elections in the state would significantly benefit from state funding to recruit and retain poll workers and to maintain voting equipment properly. We have learned that county administrators also need respite from state regulatory volatility, which has created financial instability for county budgets.
We found that both the federal and state governments must do more to support county-level election administration in the state. We recommend that the federal government pass through a portion of the available election administration grant funding directly to county election offices.
