As election season approaches, the significance of informed voting cannot be overstated. With numerous candidates and issues to consider, finding reliable and comprehensive information can be overwhelming. This is where Georgia Decides steps in, a voter guide collaboration between the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) and Atlanta Civic Circle (ACC).
Executive Director of ACC, Saba Long , joined The Rashad Richey Morning Show to shed light on this. Georgia Decides aims to be the go-to resource for voters looking to build their ballot for the upcoming May primary. By visiting atlantaciviccircle.org or the AJC's website, individuals can simply enter their address and access a wealth of information on candidates and their stances on various issues.
One of the most exciting features of Georgia Decides is the inclusion of judicial candidates. Often overlooked by voters, these races are critical for shaping our legal system. With Georgia Decides, voters can now easily research judicial candidates and understand their judicial approach and stance on the law.
ACC focuses on two key areas—housing affordability and democracy. Long believes that understanding these issues is vital for individuals looking to make a difference in their communities. By providing comprehensive information through Georgia Decides, ACC and the AJC aim to empower voters and encourage civic engagement at all levels of government.
The collaboration between ACC and the AJC is not only significant but also timely. In today's fast-paced news environment, having a one-stop shop for election information is invaluable. By bridging their respective strengths, ACC and the AJC are ensuring that voters have the resources they need to make informed decisions come election day.
Despite the challenges of getting candidates to respond to questionnaires, Ms. Long remains steadfast in her commitment to providing voters with the information they need. By encouraging residents to reach out to non-responsive candidates, Georgia Decides is promoting accountability and transparency in the electoral process.
