House Bill 1904 amends the Election Code to change the filing deadline for a declaration of write-in candidacy for the office of county chair or precinct chair of a political party from 5 p.m. on the 62nd day before general primary election day to 6 p.m. on the fifth day after the date of the regular filing deadline for the general primary election. The bill removes an exception to the filing deadline for a candidate who dies or is declared ineligible before the regular filing deadline.
