What are the qualifications to run for office in Georgia?

Asked a year ago
In order to run for office in Georgia, there are several qualifications that candidates must meet. Firstly, candidates must be at least 18 years old at the time of the election. They must also be a citizen of the United States and have been a legal resident of Georgia for at least two years before the election. Furthermore, candidates must be a legal resident of the district or territory they intend to represent, if applicable. Those running for state legislative positions must also be a registered voter in the district they seek to represent. It is also important to note that candidates must not have been disqualified from holding public office due to a felony conviction. Meeting these requirements ensures that candidates are eligible and meet the necessary criteria to participate in elections in Georgia.
