Committee Urged to Reject Amendment, Pass SB 463

This amendment to SB 463 would be a step backward. It would eliminate an option that Georgia’ elections officials will likely need in the fall elections.

In pandemic conditions, sending absentee ballot applications to voters is one of the best ways to ensure their ability to vote safely.

Statement of Cindy Battles, on behalf of Common Cause Georgia

We support Secretary of State Raffensperger’s decision to mail absentee ballot applications to all registered voters. Sending absentee ballot applications to all registered voters will make it accessible and secure for Georgians to vote by mail, if they choose to.
