House Bill 184 |

Senate Sponsor: West |
House Bill 184 amends the Election Code to require, rather than authorize, the secretary of state to declare an unopposed candidate elected to fill a vacancy in the legislature if each candidate for an office that is to appear on the ballot is unopposed and no proposition is to appear on the ballot. The bill establishes deadlines by which the declaration is required to be made based on the reason the candidate is unopposed.
