HB 2645 Party designations on the ballot.

Introduced by: Richard H. Black | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Party designations on the ballot. Extends to local elections, other than school board elections, the identification of candidates by party name on the ballot. An exception is made for any city or town whose charter prohibits party names on the ballot. Under legislation enacted by the 2000 General Assembly and effective January 1, 2001, federal, statewide, and General Assembly candidates already are to be identified by party. The bill explicitly provides that an endorsement by a political party of a candidate who qualifies for the ballot through the petition process is not grounds for identifying that candidate by the party's name.
