Gov. The governor also asked the legislature to delay changes to the state's election system.
Officials said those changes could cause disarray during the upcoming midterms. The special session focuses on drawing new district maps that will be used beginning with the 2028 election cycle. Redistricting typically follows the decennial census, but states sometimes adjust boundaries at other times for various reasons.
By requesting a delay in election system changes, the governor aims to maintain stability for the midterm elections. The legislature will consider both the redistricting measures and the proposed delay during the special session. The actions come as states continue to prepare for future election cycles following the 2024 presidential election.
Georgia's maps have been the subject of legal and political attention in recent years.
