The 2026 Georgia Statewide Down-Ballot Candidate Forum Series: “One Georgia. Many Voices. Shared Solutions.” is a nonpartisan voter-education initiative that provides candidates with opportunities to engage directly with voters across West, Southwest, Middle, and South Georgia.

Candidates are invited to participate in one or more regional forums based on their availability. Each event will provide a structured setting for candidates to introduce themselves, discuss their priorities, explain their approach to the responsibilities of the office they seek, and respond to questions informed by community members.
