The Public Service Commission (PSC) is the state government agency tasked with the responsibility to ensure fair prices for your monthly electric and natural gas bills and phone bills across Georgia. There are five commissioners who are elected by the voters to represent their interests. The PSC also has the responsibility to oversee power lines, phone lines, and natural gas lines that make up the infrastructure of Georgia’s utilities. These commissioners are intended to serve as advocates for the people when it comes to holding down costs on utility bills, which have risen on average by $43 per month since 2023.
The PSC's work is essential in shaping the utility landscape in Georgia — influencing everything from energy costs to the adoption of renewable resources. By voting in the PSC election, Georgians can help ensure they’re electing representatives that allow their voices to be heard and their priorities to be put first, and that utility services remain fair, affordable and reliable.
Georgians deserve a Public Service Commission that reflects the community it serves, advocates for affordable prices, and promotes broader economic opportunities for all, not just a few in favored areas. PSC decisions impact Georgians every single day in the following ways:

If you do not have an acceptable form of photo ID at the time of voting, you can vote a provisional ballot. You will then have three days after the election to present an acceptable form of ID to your county registrar’s office for your vote to be counted.
For absentee voting, Georgia requires voters to provide the number from their Georgia driver’s license or state ID card when applying for an absentee ballot. If the voter does not have a Georgia driver’s license or state ID, they can provide the last four digits of their Social Security number.

A challenge is when one voter formally questions another voter’s eligibility to vote in a given county or given election. A Mass Challenge is the term used to describe when one voter in a Georgia county challenges dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of other voters in their county at once. Challenges are submitted to county election officials, in each of Georgia’s 159 counties.While Mass Challenges have a long history in Georgia, Georgia lawmakers made it clear that they supported the practice of Mass Challenges by passing laws in 2021 (SB 202) and again in 2024 to make the practice easier for Challengers. Georgia has become the site of more Mass Challenges than any other state.
Click here to see a full breakdown on how the voter challenge process works.
First off- if you receive a letter or hear you may have been challenged – that DOES NOT mean you have been removed from the voter rolls and can no longer vote. It just means you need to provide additional documentation to prove you’re able to vote.
The process for notifying voters who have been challenged is not standard across the state. However, you should receive a letter in the mail from your county elections office.
The letter will give the reason you are being challenged, who in your county is challenging you, and the date/time/location of the hearing for the challenge. It may also tell you what type of information or documentation you need to bring to your challenge hearing.
As a challenged voter, you have the right “to be heard” — that is, the right to a hearing at your county Board of Elections. If you cannot make the hearing, you should be able to submit your information to the elections office instead of attending a hearing in person. You should call your local elections office to see what options you have.
Phone numbers to county elections offices can be found here: Click here to find the contact information for your county elections office.
You can always call the Election Protection Hotline for questions or support, or if you cannot get additional information from your county officials, please contact the Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683).
The people who bring mass challenges often rely on unreliable sources of information to bring a large number of challenges at once.If you receive a letter or hear you may have been challenged, this DOES NOT mean you have been removed from the voter rolls and can no longer vote. It just means you need to provide additional documentation to prove you’re able to vote.

Unfortunately, there is no one standard way that counties notify voters when voter's eligibility are are challenged, but since challenges are brought directly to the county elections office, they should be able to tell you definitively if your voter status is being challenged by another person.
