Statewide constitutional amendments (on every Georgia ballot)

Yes/No explanations are Vote Book’s plain-English reading of the official ballot question and summary; the ballot wording is quoted exactly. There are no statewide referendum questions in 2026.

Amendment 1: Conservation-use farmland acreage

Amendment 1 would increase the maximum acreage of agricultural and timber property that can be classified as bona fide conservation use property.
House Resolution No. 32 (Ga. L. 2025, p. 1081)

Plain-English summary: Amendment 1 would increase the maximum acreage of agricultural and timber property that can be classified as bona fide conservation use property. The limit would be increased from 2,000 to 4,000 acres. Placed on the ballot by a two-thirds vote of the General Assembly; needs a simple majority to pass.

A Yes vote means: The most land that can qualify for Georgia's lower conservation-use property tax assessment doubles, from 2,000 acres to 4,000 acres.

A No vote means: The limit stays at 2,000 acres.

Supporters say: Supporters, including Sen. Sam Watson (R-11), argue: “Agriculture has changed. Our family farms are getting much larger today.”

Opponents say: Opponents argue voters should reject it and keep current law: The limit stays at 2,000 acres.

Arguments: Ballotpedia (secondary source). Vote Book does not endorse either side.

Supporters (Georgia SOS 2026 Constitutional Amendments Booklet): State Sen. Sam Watson (R-11) and Rep. Chuck Efstration (R-104); Georgia Farm Bureau; Georgia Forestry Association; bipartisan two-thirds majorities in the Georgia General Assembly

Opponents (Georgia SOS 2026 Constitutional Amendments Booklet): County tax-base analysts and local officials concerned about shifting property tax burdens in rural counties

Legislative Sponsors & Ballot Statement Signers: Legislative referral: House Resolution 32 (Ga. L. 2025, p. 1081); official summary prepared by the Constitutional Amendments Publication Board (Governor, Lt. Governor, Speaker of the House)

Campaign Committees & Top Funders: Support ($0.00 reported) / Oppose ($0.00 reported): Legislatively referred constitutional amendment (HR 32) with no ballot-question committees reporting contributions per Georgia Campaign Finance Commission / Ballotpedia.

Sources: Georgia SOS 2026 Constitutional Amendments Booklet · Ballotpedia — Georgia 2026 Ballot Measures

Official ballot wording
Shall the Constitution of Georgia, for the purpose of protecting family farmland, be amended so as to increase the maximum acreage to qualify for assessment and taxation as a bona fide conservation use property from 2,000 acres to 4,000 acres?

Amendment 2: Nonpartisan probate judge elections

If approved, all probate court judges in Georgia would be elected in nonpartisan elections (no party label on the ballot).
House Resolution No. 251 (Ga. L. 2026, p. 1110)

Plain-English summary: If approved, all probate court judges in Georgia would be elected in nonpartisan elections (no party label on the ballot). Placed on the ballot by a two-thirds vote of the General Assembly; needs a simple majority to pass.

A Yes vote means: All probate court judges in Georgia would be elected in nonpartisan elections (no party label on the ballot).

A No vote means: The constitution is not changed to require nonpartisan elections for all probate judges.

Supporters say: Supporters argue voters should approve it so that the change takes effect: All probate court judges in Georgia would be elected in nonpartisan elections (no party label on the ballot).

Opponents say: Opponents argue voters should reject it and keep current law: The constitution is not changed to require nonpartisan elections for all probate judges.

Arguments: Vote Book summary of the official Yes/No wording. Vote Book does not endorse either side.

Supporters (Georgia SOS 2026 Constitutional Amendments Booklet): Council of Probate Court Judges of Georgia; bipartisan two-thirds majorities in the Georgia General Assembly

Opponents (Georgia SOS 2026 Constitutional Amendments Booklet): Some county political party activists who favor retaining party labels on local judicial ballots

Legislative Sponsors & Ballot Statement Signers: Legislative referral placed on the ballot by two-thirds vote of the Georgia General Assembly; official summary prepared by the Georgia Constitutional Amendments Publication Board

Campaign Committees & Top Funders: Support ($0.00 reported) / Oppose ($0.00 reported): Legislatively referred constitutional amendment with no ballot-question committees reporting contributions per Georgia Campaign Finance Commission / Ballotpedia.

Sources: Georgia SOS 2026 Constitutional Amendments Booklet · Ballotpedia — Georgia 2026 Ballot Measures

Official ballot wording

Amendment 3: Emergency 9-1-1 fund

Amendment 3 states that the revenue and funds in the Next Generation 9-1-1 Fund can be used only to expand, maintain, and operate the state's 9-1-1 systems.
House Resolution No. 1243 (Ga. L. 2026, p. 1109)

Plain-English summary: Amendment 3 states that the revenue and funds in the Next Generation 9-1-1 Fund can be used only to expand, maintain, and operate the state's 9-1-1 systems. This would include transitioning the existing 9-1-1 emergency response system into a new, IP-based network system. Placed on the ballot by a two-thirds vote of the General Assembly; needs a simple majority to pass.

A Yes vote means: Lawmakers could set aside certain existing state revenues in a fund that does not expire at year-end, to be spent only on expanding, maintaining and running 9-1-1 systems.

A No vote means: Lawmakers would not get this constitutional authority to dedicate those revenues to a 9-1-1 fund.

Supporters say: Supporters, including State Sen. Harold Jones (D-22), argue: “We hear many stories: They call 911, a person may not answer. It’s not quite up to the quality level.”

Opponents say: Opponents argue: You can share campaign information or arguments, along with source links for this information, at [email protected].

Arguments: Ballotpedia (secondary source). Vote Book does not endorse either side.

Supporters (Georgia SOS 2026 Constitutional Amendments Booklet): State Sen. Harold Jones II (D-22) and bipartisan sponsors; Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG); Georgia Emergency Communications Authority

Opponents (Georgia SOS 2026 Constitutional Amendments Booklet): No organized opposition campaign registered (passed with near-unanimous bipartisan legislative support)

Legislative Sponsors & Ballot Statement Signers: Legislative referral placed on the ballot by two-thirds vote of the Georgia General Assembly; official summary prepared by the Georgia Constitutional Amendments Publication Board

Campaign Committees & Top Funders: Support ($0.00 reported) / Oppose ($0.00 reported): Legislatively referred constitutional amendment with no ballot-question committees reporting contributions per Georgia Campaign Finance Commission / Ballotpedia.

Sources: Georgia SOS 2026 Constitutional Amendments Booklet · Ballotpedia — Georgia 2026 Ballot Measures

Official ballot wording
Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to authorize the General Assembly to dedicate certain existing revenues, including revenues reallocated by law, to a nonlapsing fund to be used exclusively for the expansion, maintenance, and operation of emergency 9-1-1 systems in this state?
