On June 7, the California Assembly Elections Committee passed SB 437 unanimously. It requires qualified parties to notify the Secretary of State of the identities of their presidential and vice-presidential nominees by 75 days before the general election. Existing law has no deadline for that, which seems peculiar, but other states similarly have no deadline either.
ANOTHER EC COMPLICATION.
CONNECTION TO BALLOT PRINTING DEADLINE.
If a qualified party doesn’t submit the names of their Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates by a reasonable time, their electors should run as unpledged.
