Pennsylvania Bill for an Earlier Presidential Primary Moves Ahead

On June 22, Pennsylvania SB 428 passed the House State Government Committee by 16-8. It moves the primary for all office, but only in presidential years, from the fourth Tuesday in April to the third Tuesday in March. The bill passed the State Senate unanimously back on December 14, 2021.

If the bill passes, it will have no effect on the petition deadline for independent candidates and the nominees of unqualified parties.
