Bill > SB2461

This bill requires the Office of Elections to create a questionnaire for candidates running for public office, asking about their legislative priorities, desired committee assignments, and their vision for the state's future. Candidates will have the option to respond to these questions in writing, with a limit of one hundred words per response. The Office of Elections must then publish any responses received on its website and in the digital voter information guide, which is a publicly accessible document containing information for voters, no later than eighteen days before a primary election. This initiative aims to provide voters with more information about candidates' stances on important issues, and the changes will take effect on January 1, 2027.
