Georgia’s State Election Board voted Wednesday to create a committee to weigh proposed election rules before the board takes them under consideration.
Each of the election board’s five members will select two people to sit on the committee—likely a mix of election officials, citizens, attorneys, and possibly one or two state lawmakers. The election board will then be able to send a proposed rule to the committee to “have them vet it and smooth it out” before it comes to the board for a vote.
The board approved a slew of changes leading up to the November election that were ultimately blocked by a judge and remain under consideration by the Georgia Supreme Court.
