What this bill does
This bill lets a voter ask to have their name removed from a nominating petition for a candidate of a registered party that is not a qualified political party. It also requires election officials to post online the name and signature date of each voter who signs a nomination petition, bars removing a signature after it has already been verified, and requires notifying a county or district attorney when someone says they did not sign a petition.
