Bill > S3965

This bill reschedules the June 2025 primary election from June 3 to June 10, and provides specific guidance on how various election-related deadlines will be adjusted. The bill requires the Secretary of State to notify county and municipal election officials and the public about the date change within seven days of the act's effective date. Most election-related deadlines under Title 19 of the Revised Statutes will correspond to the new June 10 election date. However, two specific types of deadlines will retain their original June 3 date: those related to nominating petitions, ballot position drawing, and vote-by-mail ballot mailing. The Secretary of State is also required to publish a calendar with all the adjusted dates for the 2025 primary election. This bill ensures that while the primary election date is shifted, most related administrative processes will be coordinated to align with the new election date, with a few specific exceptions to maintain the original timeline for certain preparatory activities.
