The ballot asks whether to let the county use state redevelopment powers like tax allocation districts and bonds. Toombs County pays the election costs, and the superintendent certifies results to the Secretary of State. If more than half vote Yes, these powers take effect right away; if not or the vote is not held, the Act is repealed on January 1, 2026.
