Greater Georgia Action announced on May 6 that it has launched an online voter guide focused on Georgia’s judicial races, including endorsed candidates for the Georgia Supreme Court and Georgia Court of Appeals, county-based judicial race lookup tools, and background information on key courts.
The organization said the new resource aims to help voters better understand their choices in upcoming nonpartisan judicial elections. Judicial races will appear on Republican, Democratic, and nonpartisan ballots during Georgia’s May 2026 election. Voters will decide three seats on the Georgia Supreme Court as well as positions on the Court of Appeals and various county-level courts. These judges interpret state law, review lower-court decisions, and shape how laws are applied after they are passed, according to Ballotpedia.
Carmen Bergman, Senior Advisor of Greater Georgia Action, said that judicial races deserve more voter attention because judges determine how laws are applied after lawmakers pass them.
“We spend immense time and treasure deciding what laws should say and who should make them,” Bergman said. “Judges decide how those laws are applied, and they deserve our equal attention,” according to her statement in the press release.
The online guide encourages Georgians to “take five minutes” to learn who is on their May 19 ballot. It highlights endorsed candidates for the state’s highest courts and provides candidate backgrounds, court race information, judicial priorities, with a focus on how judges interpret and apply Georgia law. The guide is available through Greater Georgia Action’s website.
Georgia has two appellate courts—the Supreme Court of Georgia and the Court of Appeals—and six classes of trial-level courts where most cases begin: superior, state, juvenile, probate, magistrate, and municipal courts. The Supreme Court handles matters reserved to it by law including certain constitutional questions; the Court of Appeals reviews most appeals from lower courts; county-level trial courts handle initial proceedings in a variety of case types, according to the Judicial Council of Georgia.
Greater Georgia was founded by former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler in 2021 and works year-round to register new voters across the state while mobilizing diverse communities and supporting election integrity efforts through education and advocacy initiatives.
