Supreme Court of Georgia

In Re: December 6, 2022 General Election Ballot (three Cases)

June 21, 2023316 Ga. 843

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the dismissal or denial of three election-related complaints because none named a defendant and no defendant was served or voluntarily appeared. Without a party properly before the trial court, the courts lacked authority to grant the requested relief, including voiding the runoff election. The court also noted that the appellants identified no authority permitting reversal under these circumstances.
