The Georgia General Assembly has passed a Republican-led measure to make sweeping changes to the state’s election code, with a focus on absentee and early voting regulations.

Republican state lawmakers have defended the bill as a necessary cleanup of the state’s election code after a crisis in confidence in the system during the 2020 election.
