Brad Raffensperger 214 State Capitol


SECRETARY OF STATE Atlanta, Georgia 30334

The Constitution of the State of Georgia is the governing document of our state. It
outlines the three branches of government, dictating both the scope and
limitations of government power. It defines the extent of government authority
and sets the parameters of personal and individual freedoms.

As Georgia’s Secretary of State, I am proud to provide the Constitution of the


State of Georgia to you. This document has guided citizens for generations since
the founding of our state in 1788. Today, it remains an important reminder of our
values as a state and our rights as citizens.

Please let me know if I can ever be of service to you. For any issues regarding
voting, corporate registrations, securities or professional licensing, please do not
hesitate to call the Office of the Secretary of State at 404-656-2881.

Georgia’s Constitution was ratified on November 2, 1982 by a vote of the people


and it became effective on July 1, 1983. It is one of the newest state constitutions
in the United States and is the 10th Constitution of the State of Georgia,
replacing the previous 1976 Constitution.
