What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, independent candidates for partisan office may include on their

nomination papers a statement of party or principle. This statement appears on the

ballot under the names of the candidates. Most statutory references to the statement

limit the length of the statement to five words or less. This bill standardizes all

references so that in all cases the statement or party or principle, if any, is limited

to five words or less.
