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 petition may consist of several sheets and statement of circulator.
HB 231 amends Pennsylvania's election code to allow nomination petitions for candidates to be printed on multiple sheets, with each sheet used for signers from different counties. The sheets must be bound together, numbered consecutively, and include a circulator's statement verifying signers' qualifications, residences, and party registration (with exceptions for certain local offices like school boards). This change directly affects candidates seeking nomination and the people collecting signatures for petitions across Pennsylvania. The bill streamlines the petition process without altering voter requirements or eligibility standards. It takes effect 60 days after enactment.
