2014 House Bill 5919

Eliminate duped ballot petition signature penalty

Introduced in the House

Oct. 6, 2014

Introduced by Rep. Jeff Irwin (D-53)

To revise the process for counting duplicate ballot initiative and candidate ballot access petition signatures, so that if a person signs twice, only one of the signatures would be eliminated, not both as under current law. Also, to allow voters to sign candidate ballot access petitions for multiple candidates for the same office.

Referred to the Committee on Elections and Ethics
