An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in dates of elections and primaries and special elections, further providing for affidavits of candidates; and, in nomination of candidates, further providing for affidavits of candidates, for nominations by political bodies, for limitations on eligibility of candidates and for affidavits of candidates.
SB 658 amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to update requirements for individuals running for public office. It modifies the affidavits (sworn statements) that candidates must file, adding new declarations that they are not seeking multiple offices or holding an office whose term does not expire in the same election year. The bill also explicitly prohibits candidates from seeking nomination or appearing on the ballot for more than one public office in a single election. These changes affect candidates seeking election through political parties or political bodies at various levels, from local to federal offices within Pennsylvania.
