A committee of lawmakers examining how elections are run held its first meeting Tuesday at the state Capitol.

The House of Representatives study committee on election procedure heard from state officials on the role of the State Election Board, Georgia’s voter roll maintenance process, and voter registration procedures. Members of the public also gave their testimony on concerns around elections. 

Rep. Tim Fleming, who has filed paperwork to begin fundraising for a 2026 Georgia secretary of state campaign, chairs the committee.

“We are not here to litigate past elections, but rather to prepare Georgia for the future, to make sure that every legal vote counts, that voters have confidence in the system, and that our processes are secure, efficient and fair," he said. 

Vice Chair Victor Anderson said that the first meeting served as an "educational" meeting to provide members with background knowledge on current election procedures, and that the committee will be working with local elections officials in subsequent meetings. 

The committee plans to hold five more meetings and then issue recommendations for elections policies that could become bills next year when the General Assembly reconvenes.
