How this guide is made

Constitutional Amendments

Official ballot wording is shown as "official text to come" until it is copied word for word from the Secretary of State's booklet. The "what your vote means" lines and plain-words summaries are ours, and each line links to its source.

Candidates

The list of races and candidates is the Secretary of State's official list of federal and state candidates for the November 3, 2026 general election ↗, in the order of the Secretary of State's file (your ballot may list them in a different order), with names as they appear on the ballot. Each profile lists checkable facts with links to where they came from, the candidate's own stated priorities clearly labeled as theirs, and links to official records and campaign finance filings. We don't rate candidates, list endorsements, or publish polling.

Counties and local questions

This guide does not cover county and local races or local questions yet. Your sample ballot lists everything you will vote on.

Districts

District lines on the map come from U.S. Census Bureau files of the Georgia General Assembly's 2023 state Senate and House maps (redrawn after a federal court ruling). Your sample ballot is the final word.
