The AJC reports Georgia senators have advanced a series of election-related proposals that could reduce the number of voting machines on election day, require more audits and post pictures of ballots online.
In addition, the bills would add watermarks to ballots, make voter intimidation a felony, require election workers to be U.S. citizens, allow candidates to proof ballots before they’re printed, and require referendums to raise taxes to be held during high-turnout primary or general elections.
The measures approved Monday combine several bills that have been previously debated during this year’s legislative session, and they could reach final votes in the coming days before this year’s legislative session ends March 28.
