2018 Ballot Questions for voters in the City of Atlanta

On November 6th, voters throughout Georgia will choose the candidate they want to be their new governor and who should fill other county, state, and federal positions. But what do you know about the questions that are also on the ballot?

The wording of ballot questions can be confusing if not purposefully misleading, so we pulled some info together so you can get a better understanding of what each one actually means and what it means to Atlantans.

On October 23rd, we held a live Ballot Questions? Getting You Answers event with representatives from the State of Georgia, City of Atlanta, Fulton County, and Atlanta Public Schools. Here’s the Facebook Livestream and the slide presentation.

We hope you find this info helpful, so if you’ve got any questions or think we need to make corrections or additions to the information linked below, please contact us.
