Nonpartisan Elections for Probate Judges Amendment

November 3, 2026 · Georgia · Statewide

Vote impact: Average
How do we calculate vote impact?

Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).

Representation: Low · 30 out of 100

This district is large for its type, so each vote is a smaller slice of the outcome. About 10,940,407 people live here.

score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(39,287,377 ÷ 10,940,407) ÷ ln(39,287,377 ÷ 582,397) = 30.36, comparing all statewide districts nationwide (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)

Ballot measure: +1 step

Your vote sets the policy directly, so the rating gets a one-step boost.

Low representation + a ballot-measure boost → Average vote impact.

Ballot Measure

Election Integrity (for)

A proposed Georgia constitutional amendment (House Resolution 251) requiring that all county probate judges be elected on a nonpartisan basis, aligning them with all other Georgia court judges, who are already elected without party labels. It passed the General Assembly with broad bipartisan support and was placed on the November 2026 ballot.

A YES vote means

A "yes" vote supports amending the Georgia Constitution to require that probate judges be elected in nonpartisan elections, removing party labels from probate-judge races.

A NO vote means

A "no" vote opposes the amendment, keeping probate-judge elections partisan.
