Summary
Primary schedule in 2012. Moves the June 12, 2012, primary date to August 7, 2012, in response to the 2012 redistricting process and adjusts various deadlines for filings and election preparations to accommodate the new primary date. The bill also authorizes the State Board of Elections to adjust dates and deadlines (other than the primary and election dates) if necessary to complete the Voting Rights Act Section 5 preclearance process. The bill will not take effect if this year's congressional redistricting plan is cleared for implementation under the Voting Rights Act by April 3, 2012, and the usual June primary date will be in effect. The bill provides that timely filings of forms, petitions, and receipts for the June primary will be valid for the August 7 primary and includes protections for the current petition process. The bill contains an emergency clause. The act will expire January 1, 2013.
Title
