California AB 3063 would allow elections officials to refrain from printing primary ballots for a party, if no one filed to appear on that party’s primary ballot. The bill was probably introduced as a reaction to the Natural Law Party situation. No one ran in its primary for any office in 2004, and no one is running this year. But since it is a qualified party, elections officials must still print up primary ballots for it. The bill would provide that if no one filed to appear on the primary ballot, but 100 registered members of the party signed a petition saying that they want to nominate someone by write-ins, then primary ballots would still be printed.
