Elections; judicially incompetent persons; restrict voting rights

Summary

The measure adds two new disqualifications to Georgia's voter eligibility rules: anyone convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude and anyone judged mentally incompetent by a court cannot register or vote until their sentence is completed or their disability is lifted. It would only become law on Jan. 1, 2027 if voters approve a constitutional amendment in the November 2026 election that removes the current felony‑exception. If the amendment fails, the bill automatically repeals itself.
