Ware County elections supervisor warns QR-code rule ends July 2026; counties face costly choices

Carlos Nelson, Ware County Board of Elections supervisor, told commissioners that counties must decide to replace, upgrade or revert to paper ballots after QR-code requirements end in July 2026; he said the State buys equipment but counties pay maintenance and training costs, and estimated paper-ballot needs at 20,000–45,000 ballots.
