Bill > HB1528

This bill modifies the deadline for political parties to nominate candidates for special elections to fill vacancies in the Virginia General Assembly, which refers to the state's legislative body. Specifically, if a vacancy occurs in the General Assembly between December 10th and March 1st, parties must now nominate their candidates within seven days of a writ of election or an order calling for that special election, a change from the previous requirement of at least 60 days before the election or within five days of the writ if the election was called with less than 60 days' notice. This amendment aims to expedite the nomination process for these specific types of special elections.
