Kemp signs elections bill, locking in QR code voting machines for November
Gov. Brian Kemp signed legislation into law Thursday that delays the July 1 ban on the use of QR codes in Georgia’s voting machines.
His signature postpones the prohibition until Jan. 1, 2028, giving lawmakers more time to adopt new election procedures.
Senate Bill 3EX, which passed Tuesday, the last day of the special session, removes Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from the planning, instead putting lawmakers in charge of recommending a new voting system.
Raffensperger, a Republican who stood firm against President Donald Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen, had become a target of GOP lawmakers. They blamed him for sticking with QR codes, and he blamed them for failing to select and pay for an alternative system.
