On Tuesday (April 6), Atlanta Mayor
Keisha Lance Bottoms signed an executive order to promote access to voting following the passing of the state’s controversial voting law.
The order instructs the city’s chief equity officer to create a plan that will lessen the impact of the state’s voting law, SB 202, which imposes a variety of restrictions and barriers to voters, especially those who are Black, Latino, and low income.
“The voting restrictions of SB 202 will disproportionately impact Atlanta residents –– particularly in communities of color and other minority groups,” Mayor Bottoms said in a statement. “This Administrative Order is designed to do what those in the majority of the state legislature did not–– expand access to our right to vote.”
