On Wednesday, August 30, the Pennsylvania Senate State Government Committee will hear SB 224, which would move the 2024 primary for all office from late April to March 19. If the bill passes, it will have no effect on the petition deadline for independent candidates and the nominees of unqualified parties.
If the bill passes, Democratic and Republican candidates would need to be circulating primary petitions to get on the ballot in the days before Christmas. But if the bill doesn’t pass, the 2024 primary interferes with Passover. It doesn’t seem to occur to Pennsylvania legislators that they are free to abolish primary petitions. A majority of states do not require primary petitions; instead, they depend on filing fees to keep primary ballots from being too crowded.
I’ve heard the primary date determines when minor party candidates can begin circulating petitions. I can’t get a straight answer from the PA gov’t. Any insights on this?
