Secretary Raffensperger: Georgia's Voter Lists Are the Cleanest in the Nation

Atlanta - Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger ensures Georgia’s voter lists are the cleanest in the nation and is announcing routine and legally required updates as part of the non-election year list maintenance effort.

“Georgia’s voter lists are the cleanest in the nation because of our membership with Electronic Registration and Information Center (ERIC)," said Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. "Clean lists lessen the burden on our counties, provide appropriate resources in each precinct, and ensure the voter has a smooth experience at the polls,” said Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

183,584 voter records will be placed into inactive status if voters do not respond to a mailed confirmation notice. These records have not had any activity in 5 full calendar years, which includes not voting during any election since before 2018. Any records that turn inactive as part of this process will remain on the voter rolls for two more even-year general elections. Voters who have inactive status can still vote. However, if these 183,584 voters do not vote or otherwise contact their county elections office by December 31, 2026, then they will be eligible for removal in 2027 in accordance with state and federal law.

The Georgia General Assembly passed legislation (O.C.G.A. 36-45-1) requiring all persons elected as members of a municipal governing authority who were not serving as members of a municipal governing authority on July 1, 1990, to attend and satisfactorily complete a training program specifically designed for newly elected municipal officials. The Georgia Municipal Association and the University of Georgia’s Carl Vinson Institute of Government are pleased to provide this required training to Georgia’s newly elected municipal officials.

The Newly Elected Officials Institute provides an opportunity for mayors and councilmembers to increase their knowledge and understanding of city government, especially as it relates to the role and responsibility of the elected official. The training provides information designed to increase the awareness of the legal, financial and ethical responsibilities of city officials. Further, the course provides six hours of credit toward the voluntary training certificate program available through the Municipal Training Institute.

Municipal elected officials that have served before and have been reelected are required to take the Newly Elected Officials Institute again if they have been out of office for more than four years or more than one term, whichever is longer.

The Newly Elected Officials Institute is offered annually, generally in February or March.
