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.
HB196 is a bill proposed to change how many people need to sign nomination petitions for candidates running in primary elections in Pennsylvania. The current law, part of the Pennsylvania Election Code, sets certain requirements for these petitions. This bill aims to update those requirements.
If passed, HB196 would affect political candidates and voters by potentially changing the number of signatures needed for a candidate to appear on the primary ballot. This could make it easier or harder for candidates to get on the ballot, depending on the changes made.
The bill was introduced on January 16, 2025, and has been referred to the State Government committee for further review. This is the first step in the legislative process, and the bill will need to be reviewed, debated, and voted on by the committee and the full House before it can move forward.
