On April 1, the Idaho Senate State Affairs Committee passed HB 275 unanimously. The bill had passed the House earlier. It is the Secretary of State’s omnibus election law bill. Among other things, it lowers the number of signatures for an independent presidential candidate from approximately 6,000 signatures, to exactly 1,000 signatures. Also it says that out-of-state circulators may work on an independent presidential candidate’s petition.
