Georgia 2026 voter’s guide: Democratic Party ballot questions

When Georgia voters go to the polls on May 19 for the state’s primary, voters choosing a Democratic or Republican primary ballot will see several questions in addition to the various offices up for election.

Every primary, the Democratic Party of Georgia and the Georgia Republican Party place non-binding questions on the ballot for their voters. The questions typically relate to hot-button issues or future priorities.

County parties can also place additional questions on their local ballots.

For 2026, Georgia Democrats put the following two questions on the party’s primary ballots:

1. Should the State of Georgia raise the sales tax on everyday items like clothing, food and school supplies to pay for an income tax cut that would make millionaires and billionaires richer?
2. Is it ethical for political candidates who have used their public offices to enrich themselves and their families or have had nearly a billion dollars of business dealings with the State of Georgia to hold statewide office?

The Georgia Republican Party also placed eight of its own questions on party ballots.
