ATLANTA — Ballots in Georgia's primary election include survey questions on topics such as securing the U.S. border and forgiving student loan debt.
Both political parties put nonbinding advisory questions on primary election ballots to gauge popular opinion, gaining information that could inform party priorities and messaging. The results of the questions don't change state laws or carry any legal weight.
They also are worded in such a way that the parties generally get the answer they are looking for.
