House Sponsors: SCOTT-MCCARTHY. Short description: ELEC CD-CHANGE PRIMRY-SEPT Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Election Code and the School Code. Changes the general primary election from the third Tuesday in March to the second Tuesday in September. Maintains the third Tuesday in March of presidential election years for the presidential preference primary and selection of delegates to the national nominating conventions. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Elections) HB 1806 would have minimal fiscal impact on the operations of the Board. However, the grant reimbursement to counties for judges of election who serve at the presidential primary elec- tion held in presidential election years would cost the State approximately $870,000 (3 election judges per precinct at $25 per judge for 11,600 precincts in the State).
