Colorado House Committee Unanimously Passes Ballot Access Reform Bill

On February 22, the Colorado House Judiciary Committee unanimously passed HB 1271, the bill to shorten the prior registration period for independent candidates. Existing law says no one can be an independent candidate if that person was a registered member of any qualified party, for even one day, in the 17 months before the election. The bill shortens that to January 1 of an election year.
