Bill > SB288

This bill amends existing law to modify the signature requirements for certain candidate petitions. Specifically, it provides that candidates for statewide offices like Governor, U.S. Senator, and state-level executive positions can either pay a filing fee or submit a petition signed by a set number of registered voters (ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 depending on the office). Similarly, candidates for district-level offices like the State House, State Senate, District Judge, and District Attorney can either pay a filing fee or submit a petition signed by a set number of registered voters in their respective districts. The bill also updates the statutory reference and sets an effective date of November 1, 2023.
