Georgia ballot measures 2026, explained
3 statewide measures on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Each one in plain words: what it does, what a yes and a no vote mean, and the best case on both sides. No recommendations.
Your Georgia ballot, in order. Tap a measure for the full explainer.
Amendment 1Constitutional amendment
Raise conservation tax-break acreage cap
Georgia gives qualifying farm and timber land a lower property-tax value when owners promise to keep using it that way. This would let one owner use that break on up to 4,000 acres instead of 2,000, like doubling the size of a discount coupon.
- Yes vote
- Raising the maximum qualifying acreage for one owner from 2,000 to 4,000 acres.
- No vote
- Keeping the maximum qualifying acreage at 2,000 acres.
Amendment 2Constitutional amendment
Make probate judge elections nonpartisan
Probate judges handle matters such as wills, estates, and guardianships. This would remove party labels from their ballots, like taking team colors off a referee's shirt, but it would not remove candidates' personal views.
- Yes vote
- Requiring all probate judges to be elected on a nonpartisan basis.
- No vote
- Leaving current probate judge election rules in place, including party labels where they are used.
Amendment 3Constitutional amendment
Create a dedicated Next Generation 911 fund
This would let lawmakers put money into a protected fund for modern 911 systems. Think of a jar that can only pay for emergency phone-system work, while the amendment itself does not say how much money goes in.
- Yes vote
- Allowing the legislature to create a nonlapsing Georgia Next Generation 9-1-1 Fund and dedicate specified revenues to it.
- No vote
- Not adding constitutional authority for that dedicated fund and leaving funding under current rules.
