This bill amends provisions related to nominations for elective office.
This bill:
- establishes a process for a voter to have the voter's signature removed from a petition to nominate a candidate of a registered political party that is not a qualified political party to elective office;
- requires an election official to post on the lieutenant governor's website the name and date of signature of each voter who signs a nomination petition;
- prohibits an election official from removing a voter's signature from a nomination petition if the election official has already verified the voter's signature;
- requires an election official to notify the county or district attorney if a person whose signature appears on a nomination petition notifies the election official that the person did not sign the nomination petition;
- describes deadlines and procedures related to the processes described above;
- includes a coordination clause that adds an hourly deadline to Sections 20A-9-405 and 20A-9-408 to reflect the time computation changes made in H.B. 299, Election Code Time Computation Revisions, if both bills pass and become law; and
- makes technical and conforming changes.
