The California Secretary of State has released a tentative list of candidates for the 2022 primary. For Governor, there are 26 candidates: thirteen Republicans, four Democrats, two Greens, one American Solidarity Party member, and six independents.

The American Solidarity candidate, James G. Hanink, is on the ballot as “Party preference: None” because the American Solidarity Party is not a qualified party.

On March 23, the Arizona House Government & Elections Committee passed SB 1460. It allows independent candidates to use electronic signatures. Currently the only petitions that can use electronic signatures are petitions to put a candidate on a primary ballot.

Unfortunately, the bill also advances the date to file as a declared write-in candidate from 40 days before an election, to 106 days before.
