Georgia 2014 ballot measures
Three statewide ballot measures were on the November 4, 2014 ballot in the state of Georgia. All three of the measures were approved. An additional four party-specific advisory questions were on the Democratic Party primary ballot on May 20, 2014.
The 2014 legislative session began on January 13, 2014 and concluded on March 21, 2014. The state does not allow initiatives or referendums, therefore, measures must be referred by the Georgia Legislature. The legislature referred two legislatively referred constitutional amendments and one legislatively referred state statute. Two of the measures addressed taxes, and one addressed government finances.
