2007 House Bill 4507

Senate Roll Call 488: Passed

To revise the procedures for the Jan. 15, 2008 presidential primary election to compensate for the fact that major candidates have refused to participate in the vote because it violates their party's rules. The bill would authorize the Secretary of State to place their names on the ballot anyway. It also makes severable the provision granting the Democratic and Republican parties exclusive access to the list of voters who "declared" which party's ballot they chose, meaning that if this is declared unconstitutional the rest of the bill could still go into effect. Also, to require all regular school board elections to be held in November.
