Baker County probate judge elections become nonpartisan
Baker County probate judge elections held after the law’s effective date are nonpartisan rather than partisan. They take place at the general nonpartisan election immediately before the judge’s term ends, following Georgia’s election rules. The judge serving when the law takes effect finishes that elected term and remains eligible to run again. The law also repeals conflicting laws.
