Modifies the candidate filing period for local elections
Second Read and Referred S Local Government, Elections and Pensions Committee
Summary
The bill revises Missouri law so that the opening date for filing a declaration of candidacy moves from the 17th Tuesday before an election to the 16th Tuesday, and the closing date moves from the 14th Tuesday to the 13th Tuesday, with a holiday exception. It also updates the statutes governing election notices, ballot printing, and candidate withdrawal. The changes would affect political subdivisions and special districts that hold elections but do not have filing dates set by charter or other law.
