Grade: F
With a Ballot Tax for Independent Congressional candidates of $6,960.00, there is work to do.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO REMOVE THESE BARRIERS.
Real reform only happens when voters speak up and demand fair access to the ballot. There are two simple ways you can help move this effort forward. First, contact your state representatives using the tools below and let them know you support ballot access reform. Second, fill out our Get Involved form so we can keep you informed about legislation, advocacy opportunities, and ways you can continue helping open the ballot in Georgia.

WHAT WE'RE DOING ABOUT IT
REASON FOR THE GRADE
• Candidate access: 27,992 signatures plus $5,220 fee; estimated independent ballot tax $402,426.48
• Party access: Party/political body statewide petition requires about 82,000 signatures; convention nominee still pays qualifying fee
• Bottom line: The largest candidate burden in the sheet and major party-formation cost make Georgia an F.
