Bill > HB3857

This bill amends the Election Code to modify the rules for petition for nomination forms in Illinois. Specifically, the bill standardizes the heading requirements for petition sheets, prohibiting any images, symbols, or slogans from appearing in the petition heading except for the required information such as candidate name, office, party, and residence. The bill explicitly clarifies that an emblem or label indicating a petition was printed by a union printer does not count as an image, symbol, or slogan. This change aims to ensure that petition headings remain clear, uniform, and focused on essential candidate information, reducing potential visual distractions or misleading graphic elements that could influence signers. The amendment applies to petitions for public office nominations and maintains the existing requirements about signature collection, circulator statements, and other procedural details of petition preparation and filing.
