Georgia's Democracy is Stronger When we Stand Together
Common Cause Georgia is a nonpartisan organization working to protect voting rights, hold power accountable, and build a democracy that works for all Georgians.
Legislation
Our Work at the Georgia State Capitol
We believe that a healthy democracy requires more than casting a ballot. That's why we also work to ensure that the rules governing our elections and our government are fair, transparent, and free from undue influence, and that all Georgians, regardless of background, have an equal voice in the decisions that shape their lives.
You can read details about important bills we are tracking this session and find letter and call campaigns we have set up to pressure our state elected officials around certain critical bills.
About Us
Building a Government that Works for All of Us
With the support of over 1.5 million members, Common Cause wins concrete, pro-democracy reforms that break down barriers to participation, promote accountability, and ensure that each of us has a voice.
Tell Your State Senator Vote NO on SB 568
SB 568 would have a chilling effect on voters and our elections. Creating new restrictions on early voting by assigning voters to just one advanced voting location could increase confusion among voters while reducing ballot access, voter turnout, and participation, particularly in larger counties.
The bill also escalates the weaponization of voter challenges by imposing extreme $10,000 per-registration fines on local registrars. These penalties create immense pressure on election officials and could incentivize overly aggressive removal of voters simply to avoid liability. Election administrators should not be forced to choose between protecting voters’ rights and protecting local taxpayer dollars.
Additionally, SB 568 expands and consolidates enforcement authority within the State Election Board. Concentrating more power in an increasingly politicized body of unelected appointees raises legitimate concerns about oversight, transparency, and political influence.
Georgia’s election laws should be crafted carefully and based on clear evidence of need. Broad structural changes of this magnitude demand rigorous vetting and broad public confidence. Instead, SB 568 will hurt voter access, deepen mistrust, and further fuel unsubstantiated claims about election security.
