Does the current Georgia Constitution impose term limits on governors? If so, what are they?

• A. One term with no reelection
• B. Three terms with no rest period
• C. Yes, two terms, re-eligible after 4 years
• D. Unlimited terms with no rest period

Answer: (C)

Georgia limits the governor to two consecutive four-year terms. After finishing those two terms, a person must wait at least four years before being eligible to run again. So you can serve eight years in a row, then you’d need a four-year break before seeking the office again. There’s no lifetime limit or unlimited-term allowance.
