Idaho Secretary of State Will Ask for Independent Presidential Candidate Ballot Access Improvements

The Idaho Secretary of State’s office is working on its proposed omnibus election law changes bill. The office expects to include a proposal lowering the number of signatures for an independent presidential candidate to exactly 1,000 signatures. The existing law, requiring approximately 6,000 signatures, was declared unconstitutional last year and the state did not appeal. The proposal will also eliminate the in-state residency requirement for petition circulators.
