Final Copy 291 Ga. 67 S12A0140. COOK v. BOARD OF REGISTRARS OF RANDOLPH COUNTY. NAHMIAS, Justice. Henry Cook appeals the trial court's ruling that he is not a resident of Randolph County and therefore not an elector qualified to vote in that county.

Because a determination of voter qualifications, not clearly linked to a particular election, does not bring an appeal within the Supreme Court's jurisdiction over "cases of election contest," Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. II (2), and because no other basis for this Court's jurisdiction appears to exist, we transfer this case to the Court of Appeals and do not reach the merits. 1. On October 25, 2010, after a hearing held pursuant to OCGA
