SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Nominating political party candidates for office. Repeals the provision that (i) allows an incumbent General Assembly member to select the method of nomination to be used in nominating the candidate of his political party for his office and (ii) provides for other offices that the party shall nominate its candidate by a primary if the incumbent officeholder was nominated by primary and does not agree to waive a primary.  The repealed provisions are exceptions to the general provision that the political party has the right to determine the method it will use to nominate its candidates.
