Amendment 2 is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on Georgia's November 3, 2026 ballot. It would require probate judges to be elected in nonpartisan elections. Georgia's Supreme Court and Court of Appeals judges are already elected on a nonpartisan basis; probate judges are currently chosen in partisan contests.
What YES does
A yes vote moves probate judge elections to the nonpartisan ballot.
What NO does
A no vote keeps probate judges in partisan primaries and elections.

OUR CALL
Our call: no call.
This is a procedural choice about how a local judicial office appears on the ballot. Probate courts handle wills, estates, and guardianships — work where party labels tell voters little — but removing party labels also removes information some voters use, and reasonable Georgians weigh that trade-off differently. The amendment raises no tax, debt, rights, or election-integrity question our rubric decides, so we print the facts and leave the call to Georgia voters.

Vote early. Research your candidates. Choose the best moderates, whatever their party — no extremism from either side. And encourage your friends and family to do the same.
