It seems, on a cursory look, that it isindeed illegal:

GA Code § 21-2-92 (2019) section a

https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2019/title-21/chapter-2/article-2/part-4/section-21-2-92/

"No person who is otherwise holding public office, other than a political party office, shall be eligible to be appointed as or to serve as a poll officer. A parent, spouse, child, brother, sister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of a candidate shall not be eligible to serve as a poll officer in any precinct in which such candidate's name appears on the ballot in any primary or election."

As a non-lawyer pede, I'm not sure what the penalty is for violation of this rule.
