Georgia State Election Board


The Georgia 'State Election Board' is an agency of the state government of Georgia responsible for making and enforcing rules that protect the fairness, legality, and orderly conduct of Georgia's election process.

History

In 2024, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 189, removing the Georgia Secretary of State from the State Election Board. It also established the board as its own entity and provided for a budget.
In October 2024, the Georgia Supreme Court issued an order prohibiting the enforcement of newly created election rules election administrators would have to follow.

Board composition

In 2023, Georgia passed a law stating that the chairperson is elected by the General Assembly, the Senate of the General Assembly and the House of Representatives of the General Assembly can each elect one member and that each political party can nominate a member of their party to be appointed by the Governor. No person while a member of the General Assembly shall serve as a member of the board.
