MyVote is independently funded — no PAC money, no political advertisers, no agenda. Just Georgia voters.
A free, five-step guide to starting a petition that actually reaches Georgia officials — school boards, county commissioners, city councils, and state legislators.
Start your Georgia petition now →Decide who has the power to make the change you want — your county commission, school board, city council, mayor, or a state or federal legislator. On MyVote you pick the target type and name when you create the petition.
Give it a clear title and explain why it matters: what's happening, who it affects, and exactly what you're asking the official to do. Specific, factual petitions gather more signatures than vague complaints.
Pick a realistic goal (the default is 100). A visible goal and progress bar create momentum — supporters can see how close you are and share to push past it.
Every petition gets its own link. Share it by text, in your county civic group, and on social media. Signatures come from real Georgians engaged in local politics.
When you've gathered support, take the petition and its public record to the official — at a public meeting, by email, or in person. The signatures are your evidence that the community is behind the ask.
On MyVote you can start a free Georgia petition in a few minutes. Create a free account, click Start a Petition, write your title and the change you want, choose the official or body you're petitioning, and publish. Your petition gets its own shareable link immediately.
MyVote petitions can target Georgia state representatives and senators, U.S. House members and senators, county commissioners, school boards, mayors, and city councils. You choose the specific official or body when you create the petition.
Yes. Creating and hosting petitions on MyVote is completely free — no signup fees, no per-signature charges, and no premium tier required to collect signatures. MyVote is independently funded with no political advertisers.
MyVote is built specifically for Georgia voters and Georgia officials. Your petition sits alongside Georgia's 2026 ballot races, county-level civic groups, and local voter community, so your signatures come from Georgians who are already engaged in local politics.
No. Signing requires a name and email, but the email is kept private — it is never shown publicly and is only used to verify the signature. Only the signature count and, where shown, signer names are public.
There is no fixed legal number for a community petition to an official — it's about demonstrating support. A few dozen signatures can move a local school board item; larger county or state asks benefit from hundreds. Set a goal you can realistically reach and exceed.
Yes. School boards are one of the most common and effective petition targets because they make local decisions about closures, budgets, and policies. Choose 'School Board' as your target type and name your county's board.
A community petition is not a binding legal filing — it's a way to show officials that constituents support a change. It carries weight as public, organized pressure, especially when signatures come from voters in the official's own district.
