Delaware Bill to Move the Primary from September to April Advances

On January 23, the Delaware House Administration Committee passed HB 41 by a vote of 4-0. It moves the primary from September to the Fourth Tuesday in April.

The bill would have the indirect effect of moving the deadline for a new party to get on the ballot, from August, to early April. Delaware is in the Third Circuit. The Third Circuit ruled in Council of Alternate Political Parties v Hooks, 121 F.3d 876 (1997) that New Jersey’s petition deadline for non-presidential independent candidates, and the nominees of unqualified parties, could not be as early as April.

HB 41 has 18 co-sponsors.
