May 25, 2026 – Georgia’s lawmakers were recently ordered to come back to work and put the brakes on legislation that would cause the state’s elections to go off a cliff.

Gov. Brian Kemp formally called a special session of the Georgia General Assembly beginning June 17 to address the state’s pending QR-code ballot counting law before its July 1 effective date. Georgia’s election system is facing uncertainty as Senate Bill 189, a law prohibiting the use of QR codes for vote tabulation, is set to take effect July 1 without a legislative fix in place, as previously reported.

Lawmakers are also being called back to work to consider congressional and legislative redistricting. The proclamation cites a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a Louisiana redistricting case as one reason for reconsidering Georgia’s electoral maps ahead of the 2028 election cycle. They will also add a second steering wheel.
