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 number of signers required for nomination petitions of candidates at primaries.
HB 1898 amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to change the number of signatures required on nomination petitions for candidates running in primary elections. This bill directly affects candidates seeking their party's nomination for office through primary elections. The key provision modifies the specific signature count needed to qualify for the primary ballot, though the exact new number isn't specified in the provided context. As a procedural election code adjustment, it focuses on the administrative process for candidate eligibility rather than substantive policy changes. The bill was referred to the State Government committee on September 30, 2025.
