Georgia extends QR-code deadline for voting system as part of a mid-decade redistricting push; a 1994 Japanese-born auto-industry design, now a global staple in item tagging.
Georgia's Legislature has extended the deadline to replace the QR-code-based vote tallying system to January 1, 2028, while creating a committee to set requirements for a new system. The measure pauses the July 1 deadline and outlines funding and implementation for 2028. The change comes as elections officials prepare for the 2028 cycle.
