INFORMATIONAL LETTER TO GEORGIA VOTERS
Understanding the 2026 Georgia Primary Ballot Questions
Dear Georgia Voters,
As citizens prepare to participate in the upcoming Georgia Primary Election on May 19, 2026, The Voter Empowerment Collaboration encourages every voter to become informed before entering the voting booth.
In Georgia, voters select either a Democratic, Republican, or Nonpartisan ballot during the primary election. Depending on the ballot selected, voters may also be asked to answer party advisory questions. These questions are nonbinding and do not create laws, but they are used by political parties to gauge voter opinion on key political and social issues.
Please note:
* Voters choosing a Democratic ballot will receive Democratic Party advisory questions.
* Voters choosing a Republican ballot will receive Republican Party advisory questions.
* Voters choosing a Nonpartisan ballot will not receive party advisory questions.
