Relating to a candidate's application for a place on the ballot for a party's primary election.

HB 1751 prohibits candidates from applying for a primary election ballot spot with more than one political party in the same voting year. If a candidate violates this rule, election authorities must reject their application, deny any filing fee refund, and make them ineligible for the next general election as an independent, a candidate from a different party, or a write-in candidate for the same office. The bill applies directly to candidates seeking primary ballot access and establishes clear consequences for filing with multiple parties. The secretary of state will handle implementation procedures, and the law takes effect in September 2025.
