Here’s what corporations have said about Georgia’s new voting law

“Concerns remain in our region and across the state with aspects of SB 202. We will carefully monitor this legislation's implementation, and we will lend our voice to help ensure that every eligible Georgia voter – regardless of political views, race or background – can engage in our voting process."

“Through codifying full access to weekend voting as well as drop boxes for all counties in our state, this legislation moves Georgia forward in expanding access to the ballot box while ensuring we remain a secure state in which to cast a ballot."

“Unnecessary restrictions on the right to vote strike at the heart of representative government. Business Roundtable members believe state laws must safeguard and guarantee the right to vote."

“While the use of police dogs, poll taxes, literacy tests and other overtly racist voter suppression tactics are a thing of the past, Georgia and other states are rushing to impose new and substantial burdens on voting following an election that produced record turnout for both parties."

“We remain committed to our previously stated principles that voting should be easy, accessible, secure and transparent. We have been engaged in the process and will continue to be actively involved to ensure that every eligible Georgian can exercise their right to vote, which is the cornerstone of our democracy."

“BlackRock is concerned about efforts that could limit access to the ballot for anyone. Voting should be easy and accessible for ALL eligible voters."

“We want to be crystal clear and state unambiguously that we are disappointed in the outcome of the Georgia voting legislation."

I need to make it crystal clear that the final bill is unacceptable and does not match Delta's values.

“We believe that all elections should be accessible, fair and secure and support broad voter participation. We'll continue to work to ensure our associates, both in Georgia and across the country, have the information and resources to vote. For example, we promoted voter participation in the last election through our internal Get Out The Vote initiative, confirming 15,500 voter registrations among our associates. In addition, we matched more than 1,800 associates with local opportunities to volunteer at polling locations across the country, including 600 technology worker volunteers in Atlanta to support complex technology issues and cybersecurity related to the election. We also donated 9,200 plexiglass dividers across Georgia to help meet poll station safety requirements."

“Already, it's clear to us that the new law contains important provisions that needlessly and unfairly make it more difficult for people to vote. We hope that companies will come together and make clear that a healthy business requires a healthy community."

“Newell Brands understands and empathizes with the concerns of voting rights advocates on the passage of SB202 and the potential barriers it may bring to fair and accessible voting for all. Newell will continue to support organizations that are doing the important work to make casting your vote equitable, fair and secure and will continue to provide non-partisan educational resources on the importance of voting to our employees and encourage employees to participate in elections at the local and federal levels."

“Equal access to the polls for every voter is core to a democracy. As an Atlanta-based business, Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) supported the work of the Metro Atlanta Chamber with members of the Georgia General Assembly to maximize voter participation and ensure election integrity. We understand the legislative outcome remains subject to debate and hope a resolution can be found between all sides that encourages and enables every eligible vote."

“UPS supports the facilitation and the ability of all eligible voters to exercise their right to vote. Like other businesses in the community, we actively engaged with political leaders in both parties and other stakeholders to advocate for more equitable access to the polls and for integrity in the election process across the state. We echo the statement by the Metro Atlanta Chamber and stand ready to continue to help in ensuring every Georgia voter has the ability to vote."

“We believe that Democracy works best when every American can make their voice heard through a secure, accessible and fair election process. The role of our government should be to ensure that everyone has an equal and unfettered access to vote in each election. As the newly enacted voting rights law in Georgia is implemented, we will remain steadfast in our support for a strong electoral system – one that not only secures the opportunity for all to vote but also protects the election process going forward."
