The flag of Georgia adopted in 1956 contained part of the Confederate flag. In 1992, governor of Georgia Zell Miller expressed his intention to remove this Confederate imagery, describing it as the "last remaining vestige of days that are not only gone but also days that we have no right to be proud of."{{cite news |last1=Harrison |first1=Eric |last2=Stanley |first2=Edith |title=Georgia Governor Wants to Lower Confederate Flag : South: Under pressure from civil rights groups, he will push for removal of battle cross from state banner. |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-05-29-mn-308-story.html |access-date=16 February 2022 |work=Los Angeles Times |date=29 May 1992}} While legislation was introduced to change the flag, this was unsuccessful, and by 1993 Miller had conceded that changing the flag would not be possible.{{cite news |last1=Smothers |first1=Ronald |title=South's Emblem To Be Retained On Georgia Flag |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/03/10/us/south-s-emblem-to-be-retained-on-georgia-flag.html |access-date=16 February 2022 |work=The New York Times |date=10 March 1993}} A 2000 report by the Georgia State Senate found the introduction of the 1956 flag to be a symbol of racist protest against desegregation.{{cite web|url=http://www.senate.ga.gov/sro/Documents/StudyCommRpts/00StateFlag.pdf |title=The State Flag of Georgia: The 1956 Change In Its Historical Context |access-date=December 4, 2014 |last1=Azarian |first1=Alexander |first2=Eden |last2=Fesshazion |date=August 2000 |work=Senate Research Office |location=State of Georgia |publisher=State of Georgia |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141204200939/http://www.senate.ga.gov/sro/Documents/StudyCommRpts/00StateFlag.pdf |archive-date=December 4, 2014 }}
Roy Barnes responded to calls for a new flag in 2001 by encouraging legislation on the matter.{{cite web |last1=Barnes |first1=Roy |title=How we got the Confederate emblem off Georgia's flag |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/30/opinions/barnes-georgia-confederate-flag/index.html |website=CNN |access-date=16 February 2022 |date= 30 June 2015}} The flag that was approved was originally designed around the time of the 1992 dispute by Cecil Alexander.{{cite web |title=State Flags of Georgia |url=https://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/government-politics/state-flags-of-georgia/ |website=New Georgia Encyclopedia |access-date=16 February 2022}} HB 16 was passed on January 30, 2001, enacting the new flag. This design reduced the Confederate imagery to a small version of the 1956 flag. Critics labelled the flag "Barnes’s rag", and the city of Trenton adopted a modified version of the 1956 flag in protest.{{cite web |title=Trenton, Georgia (U.S.) |url=https://www.fotw.info/flags/us-ga-tr.html |website=Flags of the World |access-date=16 February 2022}}
In the 2002 gubernatorial election, Republican candidate Sonny Perdue defeated Barnes. Perdue ran on the promise to allow a statewide referendum on the flag of Georgia.{{cite news |last1=Green |first1=Joshua |title=The Southern Cross |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2004/03/the-southern-cross/302896/ |access-date=16 February 2022 |work=The Atlantic |date=1 March 2004 |language=en}} While it was implied that the referendum would be on the 1956 flag, the initial bill, HB 380, legislated for 2 referendums; the first on a redesign, and the second (if the redesign was rejected) between the pre- and post-1956 flags. However, following concerns from some legislators, this was amended to be 1 referendum between the 2001 and 2003 flags. HB 380 was passed on the last day of the 2003 session. An executive order by Perdue ordered the redesign to be displayed by entities required to display the Georgia flag, rather than the 2001 flag.{{cite web |title=The State of Georgia – Executive Order |url=https://sonnyperdue.georgia.gov/gov/exorders/2003/may/05_08_03_01.pdf |website=sonnyperdue.georgia.gov |access-date=16 February 2022}}

The question on the ballot read:
Should the State of Georgia keep the 2003 Flag adopted at the 2003 Session of the General Assembly or return to the 2001 Flag adopted at the 2001 Session of the General Assembly?{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=wMgC3FpKEyYC&dat=20040226&printsec=frontpage&hl=en |title=Sample ballots for March 2 Presidential Primary |date=26 February 2004 |newspaper=The Cedartown Standard|access-date=16 February 2022 |page=4b |via=Google News}}
