What are the basic voting qualifications in Georgia?

• A. You must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of Georgia, at least 18 on election day, and not disqualified by law
• B. You must own land, be 21
• C. You must be employed by the state
• D. You must reside in Atlanta

Answer: (A)

Voting in Georgia requires four basic qualifications: you must be a United States citizen, a resident of Georgia, at least 18 years old on election day, and not disqualified by law (such as being under a court-approved disqualification or still serving a sentence that revokes voting rights).

These criteria show why the correct option is the best: it includes citizenship, state residency, the age requirement, and the generic disqualification rule, which together determine who may cast a ballot. The other statements miss essential parts of the eligibility (citizenship or age, or introduce unrelated requirements like land ownership, a higher age, state employment, or residing in a specific city), which is why they don’t fit.
