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 number of signers required for nomination petitions of candidates at primaries.

HB 196 amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to increase the number of valid signatures required on nomination petitions for school director candidates in primary elections, from 10 to 100. This change directly affects candidates seeking nomination for school board positions within their political party. The bill modifies Section 912.1(35) of the Election Code to mandate these 100 signatures from registered and enrolled party members. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
