Requires blank nominating petition forms for municipal candidates to be made available only from municipal clerks.
This bill requires that blank nominating petition forms for municipal candidates be available exclusively from municipal clerks, not county offices or other locations. It directly affects candidates running for local office who need to collect signatures to qualify for municipal elections. The bill standardizes current inconsistent practices - where some counties provide blank forms at county offices while others direct candidates to contact municipal clerks - by mandating that municipal clerks be the sole source for these forms. This applies to both primary and general election petitions for local races.
