Description
Elections; deadlines for political parties to file candidate and elector names in presidential elections and for the printing of ballots. Repeals a special provision enacted in 2003 that provided additional time for printing presidential ballots if the political party's convention would be held after the 74th day before the election. The effect of the repeal is to retain the requirement that the parties furnish the names of their presidential candidates and electors by noon of the 74th day before the election. The bill also makes clear that the deadlines for having ballots ready for absentee voting is 45 days before the November general election and 30 days before any other general, special, or primary election. It also specifies that only in the case of a special election when the deadline cannot be met is there a provision for having the ballots ready "as soon after the deadline as possible."
