Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 993 amends the Election Code to provide that an election not be held for the office of precinct chair if a candidate is unopposed on both the ballot and the list of write-in candidates, and that the unopposed candidate be declared elected to the office at the time of the local canvass. The act also requires write-in candidates for precinct chair to declare their candidacy and to appear on a list of write-in candidates in order to be counted in a general primary election.
