Rep. Draper urged transparency as Democrats warned Georgia’s redistricting fight may return after the November elections.

Rep. Saira Draper is featured in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution as Georgia Democrats respond to Republican leaders’ decision not to redraw political maps during the special session:

Democratic state Rep. Saira Draper of Atlanta said Republicans must be clear about their long-term plan.

“They need to break it down with voters about what their intentions are, because if their intentions are just to bring this back after November … before we go into a new administration, that is cowardly,” she said. “Voters will see right through it.”

Information about the upcoming Elections

The November 3, 2026 elections will be critical for Georgia’s future. Review the Democrats running for statewide office, and remember to vote all the way down your ballot. Supporting the statewide candidates AND your local representatives is crucial. Flipping a chamber would allow us to pass meaningful legislation that helps hardworking Georgians. It would also allow us to push back against likely efforts to redraw maps this December.

What you can do now

  • Confirm your voter registration and make any necessary updates by October 5.
  • Make a plan to vote—and encourage your friends and family to do the same. I strongly recommend voting early in person if possible. Early voting offers flexibility (you may vote at any early voting site in your county), helps avoid long lines, provides time to resolve issues, and reduces the risk of encountering disruptions at your polling place.
  • There is good additional voting guidance at the Democratic Party of Georgia website.
  • Voters with disabilities can find excellent information on voting rights, accessibility tools, and available resources at REV UP Georgia.

If you can do more

Volunteers are urgently needed. You can serve as a poll worker, poll watcher, or support the Voter Protection Hotline. Learn more about voter protection volunteering.

If you have concerns or questions, call the Voter Protection Hotline at 888-730-5816.
