Delay Presidential certification deadline for the 2024 election

Maddy summaryHB 2 delays the deadline for major political parties to submit their presidential and vice-presidential candidate certifications to the Secretary of State. The bill allows parties to use various delivery methods, such as mail, commercial carriers, or electronic transmission, to ensure the Secretary of State receives the documents by the new deadline. Additionally, the Secretary of State is permitted to certify official ballot forms later than the previous 60-day requirement before the election. This legislation directly affects political parties and election officials by adjusting the timeline for candidate certification and ballot preparation.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies the deadlines for political parties to submit their presidential and vice-presidential nominees to the Secretary of State. It allows parties to certify their candidates by the 90th day before a general election, which would require the official ballots to be prepared by the 59th day before the election. If a party cannot meet this earlier deadline because their national convention has not yet met, they must notify the Secretary of State, and the certification deadline would shift to the 60th day before the election. The legislation also outlines procedures for handling vacancies caused by a candidate's death, including how to update ballots with the names of replacement candidates. Additionally, the bill specifies the layout and instructions printed on the official presidential ballots to guide voters.
