(Code 1981, §21-2-223, enacted by Ga. L. 1994, p. 1443, § 3; Ga. L. 1998, p. 295, § 1; Ga. L. 2010, p. 914, § 9/HB 540.)
The 2010 amendment, effective July 1, 2010, in subsection (a), added "or to the board of registrars of the person's county of residence" at the end of the first sentence, and inserted "that he or she receives" in the second sentence.
- Preliminary injunction was properly issued against state officials who had rejected voter registration forms that had been mailed to the Georgia Secretary of State because the plaintiffs were substantially likely to prevail in their suit and the public interest was served by the preservation of the applicants' voting rights because: (1) the Secretary of State had rejected the forms based upon the fact that they had been bundled and mailed in together, rather than individually; (2) state law had to comply with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), 42 U.S.C. § 1973gg et seq.; (3) the NVRA did not prohibit registration drives or prohibit third-party submission of individual voter registration forms and specifically required that states should register all voters that timely mailed in valid voter registration forms; and (4) Georgia's anti-bundling policy did little, if anything, to prevent fraud or assist in the assessment of voter eligibility. Charles H. Wesley Educ. Found., Inc. v. Cox, 408 F.3d 1349 (11th Cir. 2005).
Plaintiffs had standing to challenge rejection of voter registration forms which they mailed to the Georgia Secretary of State where: (1) the Secretary of State rejected the forms based upon the fact that the forms were bundled and mailed in together, rather than mailed individually; (2) the plaintiffs' claim, that the rejection of the forms violated their rights under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, 42 U.S.C. § 1973gg et seq., was sufficient to allege a legal injury-in-fact that was fairly attributable to the conduct of the state officials that were sued in the suit; and (3) the plaintiffs did not have to show that their claims were valid or that they would prevail in the suit in order to have standing to assert their claims. Charles H. Wesley Educ. Found., Inc. v. Cox, 408 F.3d 1349 (11th Cir. 2005).
