AN ACT CONCERNING PETITIONING CANDIDATES.

HB 6469 (2025) would amend Connecticut law to reduce the number of signatures required for candidates to qualify for the ballot through petitioning in primary or general elections. This change directly affects candidates, particularly those seeking independent or third-party nominations who rely on gathering voter signatures instead of party endorsements. The bill's key mechanism is lowering the signature threshold, making it easier for candidates to qualify for ballot access without altering other election procedures.
