AI Summary

  • Makes elections for county officers (court clerks, county sheriffs, county clerks, county assessors, county treasurers, and county commissioners) nonpartisan instead of partisan.

  • Makes elections for district attorneys nonpartisan, with candidates filing as nonpartisan rather than representing political parties.

  • Removes references to "Runoff Primary Elections" throughout the election code since nonpartisan elections only require a single primary election.

  • Updates filing requirements so candidates for county offices and district attorney positions no longer need to be registered with a specific political party.

  • Effective date: November 1, 2011.
