2007 House Bill 4507 ↩

House Roll Call 528: Passed

To revise the procedures for the Jan. 15, 2008 presidential primary election to compensate for the fact that major candidates have refused to participate in the vote because it violates their party's rules. The bill would authorize the Secretary of State to place their names on the ballot anyway. It also removes the provision that only allows the political parties to have access to the party declarations of voters, and requires all school elections to be held on either the regular August or November election dates. The Bill is tie-barred to House Bill 4553, which would allow local elections clerks to automatically send an absentee ballot before each election to any qualified registered voter age 60 and older without receiving a request from the voter.
