An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in nomination of candidates, further providing for affidavits of candidates and for nominations by political bodies.

HB 126 amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to update the affidavit candidates must file with their nomination petitions for public office. It requires candidates to affirm their residence, eligibility, and that they are not running for multiple offices in the same election, while also confirming compliance with election laws and campaign finance rules. For party positions like delegates or committee members, the affidavit must state party membership and that the candidate isn't seeking the same office through multiple parties. This applies to all candidates for state, county, city, and local offices, except presidential candidates who only need to provide a mailing address in their petition.
