Georgia Regulations § 183-1-10-.01 Qualification of Candidates for Office; Time Period During Which Bank, Credit Union, or Other Financial Institution May Certify Error in Returning Check
Regulation Text
(1)
In the event a candidate for federal or state office pays his or her qualifying fee with a check that is subsequently returned for insufficient funds, the Secretary of State shall automatically find that such candidate has not met the qualifications for holding the office being sought. A written certification from the bank, credit union, or other financial institution returning the check that it erred in returning the check will prevent such an automatic finding so long as the certification is received by the Secretary of State within two weeks after the deadline for qualifying.
(2)
In the event a candidate for county or municipal office pays his or her qualifying fee with a check that is subsequently returned for insufficient funds, the superintendent shall automatically find that such candidate has not met the qualifications for holding the office being sought. A written certification from the bank, credit union, or other financial institution returning the check that it erred in returning the check will prevent such an automatic finding so long as the certification is received by the superintendent within two weeks after the deadline for qualifying.
