Ballotpedia defines an advisory question as a type of ballot measure in which citizens vote on a non-binding question.
The largest difference between an advisory vote and any other type of ballot measure is that the outcome of the ballot question will not result in a new, changed, or rejected law or constitutional amendment.
Rather, the advisory question symbolically makes heard the general opinion of the voting population in regard to the issue at hand.
Political parties place nonbinding questions on ballots to gauge voters’ priorities.
In Georgia, the Democratic Party features six questions on the ballot; and the Republican Party features three questions.
