AN ACT CONCERNING STATE-WIDE RECOGNITION OF MINOR PARTIES FOR PURPOSES OF NOMINATING PETITIONS.

Summary

The bill rewrites election statutes to let minor parties be recognized for filing nominating petitions, setting a 1% vote‑share threshold and detailed application requirements. Candidates must submit a written request that includes their name, consent, and, if a party label is used, proof that the party is officially reserved or meets the new minor‑party criteria. The changes affect the Secretary of State’s petition process, candidates, and any minor party seeking ballot access.
