Atlanta, GA, October 15, 2026 —

Georgia lawmakers are reviewing proposals from election equipment vendors and testing new technologies as they consider a replacement for the state’s current QR-code voting system. The Joint Election Equipment Specifications and Standards Committee is overseeing the work, with implementation of a new system targeted for January 1, 2028.

The effort follows concerns about the security of the existing tabulation method, according to the information provided. The committee’s review combines consideration of vendor proposals with testing, but the details of the concerns and the technologies under examination were not provided.

The information does not identify the vendors involved, describe the proposals, or specify how the technologies are being tested. It also does not say whether the committee has selected a preferred option or when a decision is expected. The process remains described as a review aimed at choosing a replacement.

The January 1, 2028, date is the stated target for implementing a new system. No additional milestones or details about how the transition would proceed were provided. The information also does not specify the equipment or procedures that would be replaced beyond identifying the existing system as QR-code based and referring to concerns about its tabulation method.

As the committee evaluates options, the central stated task is to identify a replacement through its review of proposals and technology testing. Further details—including the vendors’ identities, the criteria used to assess proposals, and the committee’s eventual selection—were not included in the information available.
