Laws governing ballot measures in Georgia
From Ballotpedia
To amend the Georgia Constitution at the ballot box, a vote of 2/3 of each of the two houses of the Georgia State Legislature is required.
A summary of any such proposals that the state legislature decides to vote onto the ballot, for a statewide vote of all electors, is then prepared by the state's Attorney General, in conjunction with the Legislative Counsel and the Secretary of State. A simple majority of those voting in the election is sufficent to ratify a new amendment.
The state legislature can take back any proposals prior to a statewide vote, if they do so by a 2/3rds vote of each house at least two months in advance of the election.
Constitutional convention
The state legislature can also call a constitutional convention; that convention can refer measures to the ballot in the same fashion prescribed for the state legislature.
Role of governor
If the state legislature by a 2/3rds vote decides to place a measure on the statewide ballot, the governor cannot veto that decision.
