Georgia voters can elect commissioners for two seats on the state’s powerful Public Service Commission this year, after years of delays and canceled elections.

The PSC oversees utilities like electricity, gas and telecommunications companies. That includes regulating Georgia Power, the state’s largest electric provider. The PSC has power over how the company makes electricity and how much it charges customers.
