CA AB2233

Requires elections officials to reduce the number of petition signatures needed for candidates in special elections to fill vacancies when the signature collection period is shorter than for regular elections for the same office.

The signature requirement reduction must be proportional to the reduction in time available for candidates to collect signatures.

Excludes any days allotted for filing supplemental petitions from the time reduction calculation.

Establishes a minimum requirement of 100 signatures for special election petitions to fill vacancies for U.S. Representative, state Senator, or Member of the Assembly positions.
