On Election Day, voters throughout the state made clear their stance on an amendment expanding the avenues by which charter schools in the state of Georgia can be formed. With most votes counted late Tuesday night, a decided majority of voters said “yes” to Constitutional Amendment 1, which will allow the state to re-establish a commission that can authorize new charter schools. At press time, with 138 of 159 Georgia counties reporting, nearly 58 percent of voters — about 534,000 people — voted in support of the amendment.
