What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the first date on which nomination papers may be circulated for the spring election is the December 1 preceding the election. The spring election is the election held on the first Tuesday in April to elect nonpartisan judicial, educational, and local officers. The presidential preference primary is also held at the spring election. Nomination papers for the spring election must generally be filed no later than 5 p.m. on the first Tuesday in January preceding the election.
This bill changes the first date on which nomination papers may be circulated for the spring election to the November 16 preceding the election. The bill makes a similar change to a number of other provisions of law with dates that track with that date.
