Are there any term limits on Georgia's statewide elected officials?

• A. No
• B. Yes, term limits apply to all
• C. Term limits for some offices
• D. Only for the governor

Answer: (A)

Term limits are rules that cap how many terms someone can serve in a given office. In Georgia, statewide elected offices don’t have term-limit restrictions. The state sets the term lengths (for example, four years for many statewide offices) but places no cap on the total number of terms a person can serve. This means a governor, attorney general, secretary of state, and other statewide officials can be re-elected indefinitely as long as voters choose them. (Some local offices or specific boards may have their own limits, but statewide offices do not.)
