1st on the ballot:

The Georgia Senator

The Constitution of Georgia requires a Senator to be at least 25 years old, an American citizen, a Georgia citizen for at least two years and a resident of his or her Senatorial District for at least one year immediately preceding election.

The present Senate membership ranges in age from 26 to 80. The typical Senator has attended an institution of higher learning and is a member of several professional or civic organizations.

Unlike other government officials who devote full time to public service, the Legislature is government's "citizen" branch, whose members are occupied in a business or profession when not carrying out legislative duties. Senators are engaged in law, retail trade, farming, education and a host of other occupations.

A citizen, organization or other public official can conceive of the need for legislation, but only a Senator may actually introduce legislation in the Georgia Senate. In addition, the Senate has the sole responsibility of confirming the Governor's appointments to state boards and agencies.

A Senator's duties are broader than deliberations during the three-month Legislative Session. Senators represent the interests of their constituents year-round by helping citizens in their dealings with government agencies and studying problems which citizens feel require legislation.

The Secretary of the Senate

The Secretary of the Senate is elected by vote of the Senators for a two-year term. He is the Senate's administrative officer and unofficial parliamentarian.

The Secretary is custodian of all bills, resolutions, records, papers and official documents filed with the Senate. He compiles, indexes and publishes the Senate Journal.

Senate Publications

During the Session, the Secretary prints all Senate bills and the following daily publications:

The First Readers give a brief summary of bills and resolutions introduced in the Senate.
The Daily Status shows the location and actions taken on all bills and resolutions during the legislative day.
The Composite Status, which is cumulative, shows the bill number, title, committee referred to and actions on Senate and House bills and resolutions in both Houses.
The General Calendar lists bills or resolutions in numerical order which are available to be acted upon by the Senate.
The Senate Rules Calendar, set by the Committee on Rules and published daily during the last 35 days of the Session, lists bills and resolutions ready to be acted upon by the Senate.

In the United States, the office of lieutenant governor is the second-highest executive office in a state and is nominally subordinate to the governor. In the U.S., the main duty of the lieutenant governor is to act as governor should the governor be temporarily absent from the office. In addition, the lieutenant governor generally succeeds a governor who dies, resigns or is removed in trial by the legislative branch. In most states, the lieutenant governor then becomes governor, with the title and its associated salary, office, and privileges.
