Revise election laws related to county attorney elections
HB 152 revises election laws concerning county attorney retention elections. If an incumbent county attorney is the only candidate for the office, the general election ballot would not include a nonpartisan designation or a write-in space. Instead, the ballot would present a question asking voters if the named incumbent county attorney should be retained for another term. Voters would then indicate a "yes" or "no" vote. This change directly affects how voters cast their ballots for unchallenged incumbent county attorneys.
