Georgia Representative Bobby Reese (R-Sugar Hill) has introduced HB 1141, which improves ballot access for candidates who petition onto the November ballot. It lowers the candidate petition for statewide office from 1% of the number of registered voters to exactly 5,000 signatures. It lowers the candidate petition for U.S. House from 5% of the number of registered voters to 5,000 signatures.
This bill is different from SB 359, which expands the ability of a qualified statewide minor party to nominate for all partisan office, not just statewide office. Thanks to Jason Pye for this news. Both bills make excellent, but separate, improvements.
