Amends TCA Title 2 and Title 8.

Present law prohibits a candidate, whether independent or represented by a political party, from submitting and having accepted by any election commission more than one qualifying petition, or otherwise qualifying and being nominated, or having such candidate's name anywhere appear on any ballot for any election or primary, wherein such candidate is attempting to be qualified for and nominated or elected to more than one state office as governor or member of the general assembly; to the judicial department; to more than one constitutional county office; or to any other county-wide office voted on by voters during any primary or general election. This bill removes the present law and, instead, prohibits a candidate, whether independent or represented by a political party, from submitting, and a county election commission accepting, more than one qualifying petition, or otherwise qualifying and being nominated, or having such candidate's name anywhere appear on any ballot for any election or primary, wherein such candidate is attempting to be qualified for and nominated or elected to more than one office that is voted on by voters during a primary or general election. However, this prohibition does not apply to a qualifying or nominating petition (i) for state executive committee or presidential delegate or (ii) to qualify as a candidate for a special election. This bill further prohibits an individual holding an elected office of a local government from holding another elected office in this state at the same time. However, this bill provides that individuals holding more than one office on the effective date of this bill may continue holding such offices until their terms expire. Additionally, this provision does not apply to an office in a political party's state executive committee.
