Senate Bill 1448 |

Current law provides for an alternative primary procedure for a political party in a county without party leadership by which the state chair of a political party may contract with a county clerk, county tax assessor-collector, or county elections administrator, as appropriate, to hold a primary election that is required for the nomination of a political party to a statewide office. Senate Bill 1448 amends the Election Code to instead require those county officers to contract with the state chair, on the chair's request, to hold such a primary election or a presidential primary election.
