HB 17-1163

HB 17-1163 is a Colorado bill that changes the rules for how long candidates have to gather signatures and submit petitions when running for certain partisan public offices. It shortens the time period during which candidates can collect signatures but gives election officials more time to review these petitions. Additionally, it requires a higher number of valid signatures for some candidate petitions. This bill has been signed into law, meaning its changes are now in effect and affect anyone running for those specific offices in Colorado.
