Two States Have Petition Deadlines Next Week

The Illinois petition deadline for independent candidates, and the nominees of unqualified parties, is Monday, June 24.  This is one of the earliest deadlines in the nation for presidential candidates running outside the two major parties.  The Illinois deadline has been made earlier and earlier over the last 130 years.  The original deadline was, passed in 1891, was in October.  In 1931 it was moved to August.  In 1999 it was moved to June.  Governor J. B. Pritzker still hasn’t signed the bill that moves it to May.

The New Mexico petition deadline for newly qualifying parties and independent candidates is Thursday, June 27.  That deadline has also been moved earlier and earlier, over the years.  The original deadline for new parties was passed in 1917 and was “anytime before the election”, a very impractical and vague law.  In 1935 it was moved to late September.  In 1975 it was moved to early September.  In 1981 it was moved to July.  In 1995 it was moved to April.  However, that deadline was declared unconstitutional in 2013 in Constitution Party of New Mexico v Duran, so the legislature moved it to June.
