Georgia Governor Signs Controversial Election Law Amendments

The new legislation, signed by Governor Brian Kemp, introduces significant changes to voter eligibility and registration processes ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

The law eases the process for third-party candidates to qualify for the ballot, requiring presence in 20 states or territories.
Critics argue the law could disenfranchise voters through stricter eligibility challenges and changes to homeless voter registrations.
Voting rights groups, including the ACLU and Fair Fight, plan to challenge the law, citing voter suppression concerns.
The law allows for voter roll purges up to 45 days before an election, tightening previous federal restrictions.
Homeless voters must now register using a county office address, potentially complicating their ability to vote.
