Expands primary petition circulator eligibility to include non-enrolled party members who agree to submit to state jurisdiction, in addition to enrolled party members.

Requires circulators to provide date of birth and attestation of being at least 18 years old on nominating petition statements, and maintains prohibitions on circulators on parole for felony convictions.
