Relating to posting certain election information on the Internet website of certain political subdivisions.
HB 4287 requires certain local governments (non-county, non-city, non-school district political subdivisions) to post specific election details on their public websites. It mandates posting election dates, candidate calls, ballot offices, filing periods, and candidate packet availability at least 150 days before an election. The bill also requires posting candidate names within 10 business days (for areas with under 10,000 voters) or 2 business days (for larger areas) after receiving applications. This applies to elections held on or after September 1, 2025, and aims to increase transparency in local election processes.
