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 place and time of filing nomination petitions and filing fees.
HB 208 amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to establish a $25 filing fee for candidates seeking specific party positions, including delegates or alternate delegates to national party conventions and members of national or state party committees. This fee must be paid by certified check, money order, or cash when submitting nomination petitions to the county board of elections. All collected fees will be deposited into the county's General Fund. The bill directly affects candidates for these party roles, not general election candidates.
