Bill > HB514

This bill specifies the procedure for party column rotation on general election ballots for state senate districts. It requires the assignment of party columns to achieve as equal a population representation for each party column as possible. The bill amends the existing law to remove the requirement for a balanced rotation of party columns within and across all non-floterial state representative districts, and instead relies on a random selection of state senate districts for each column required on the ballot. The bill also requires the secretary of state to publicly select the actual party columns to be positioned according to the rotation plan immediately following the close of the period during which a person may accept the nomination of a party committee.
