Delay Presidential certification deadline for the 2024 election
HB 2 delays the deadline for major political parties to submit their presidential and vice-presidential candidate certifications to the Secretary of State. The bill allows parties to use various delivery methods, such as mail, commercial carriers, or electronic transmission, to ensure the Secretary of State receives the documents by the new deadline. Additionally, the Secretary of State is permitted to certify official ballot forms later than the previous 60-day requirement before the election. This legislation directly affects political parties and election officials by adjusting the timeline for candidate certification and ballot preparation.
