Before we get to the ballot – why are the Republicans listed on top?
Georgia Code § 21-2-285 deals with the regulations state and local officials must abide by when writing an official election ballot. According to the law, Republicans appear at the top of every race because party candidates must be listed “in the descending order of the totals of votes cast for candidates of the political parties for Governor at the last gubernatorial election.”
When Gov. Brian Kemp won re-election 2022, he also won the right for all the candidates of his party – the Republican Party – to appear at the top of races on this year’s ballot.
