What’s in it

This bill changes the filing deadline for nominations by nonparty political organizations for all offices that are required to be filed in the office of the state commissioner of elections, including for president and vice president, to the 73rd day before the date of the general election to be held in November, and the filing deadline for offices required to be filed in the office of the county commissioner of elections to the 69th day before the date of the general election. These were the filing deadlines for such nominations prior to 2019. The bill also makes conforming changes to the deadlines for the filing of objections to such nominations.
