Official ballot title (quoted exactly)

Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to authorize the General Assembly to dedicate certain existing revenues, including revenues reallocated by law, to a nonlapsing fund to be used exclusively for the expansion, maintenance, and operation of emergency 9-1-1 systems in this state?

Ballot question as printed in the Georgia Secretary of State’s 2026 proposed constitutional amendments booklet.

A YES vote means:

The General Assembly could create the Georgia Next Generation 9-1-1 Fund and dedicate revenues from specified sources to it, to be used only for 9-1-1 systems.

A NO vote means:

The constitution would not change, and no dedicated 9-1-1 fund would be authorized.
