The Pennsylvania primary for president and all other office is scheduled for April 23. Although many legislators want an earlier presidential primary, SB 224, the bill to move the primaries for 2024 to March, has not made any headway. The legislature is not in session but returns in late September. When it returns, it will be concentrating on the budget. Most observers do not expect SB 224 to pass.
Earlier this year, the New York legislature passed a controversial bill, moving most town and county office elections from November of odd years, to November of even years. The bill has not yet been signed into law.
This story says election officials are worried that the bill, if signed, will create over-sized ballots in even years. The reason for the bill was to save money, but the law still requires odd year elections for judicial races, city offices, and these county offices: clerks, sheriffs, and district attorneys. The elections for those offices couldn’t be moved without changing the state constitution.
