Path to the ballot

In Georgia, voter approval is required for legislation concerning property tax exemptions. A two-thirds (66.67%) vote is required during one legislative session for the Georgia State Legislature to place a state statute on the ballot. That amounts to a minimum of 120 votes in the Georgia House of Representatives and 38 votes in the Georgia State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Statutes require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.
