Bill Summary
This bill prohibits candidates from being nominated for more than one elective office in any primary or general election. Under the bill, a candidate nominated by petition would be prohibited from accepting such nomination if the candidate has already accepted a nomination for a candidacy to any other office in that election. A candidate nominated through the primary process would be prohibited from being nominated as a candidate for more than office in any primary or general election. The bill also prohibits any person from being certified as a candidate for more than office in the same election.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits candidates from being nominated for or certified as a candidate for more than one elective office in any primary or general election, meaning a candidate cannot run for multiple positions simultaneously. Specifically, if a candidate accepts a nomination through a petition, they cannot also accept a nomination for any other office in that same election. Similarly, a candidate who wins a primary election for one office cannot then be nominated for a different office in the general election. This change aims to prevent individuals from appearing on the ballot for multiple offices in the same election cycle.
