Vote Yes on this bill if you want deceased candidates removed from nonpartisan ballots, stop counting votes for them when ballots are already printed, elevate the third-place primary finisher to the general when possible, and treat the race as having no candidate if the only filer dies.

Organizations that support this bill may include county auditors and election administrators, good-government and election integrity groups, and civic organizations focused on clear, accurate ballots.

Vote No on this bill if you prefer to keep current procedures, want a special election or appointment instead of advancing a third-place candidate, or believe votes for deceased candidates should still be counted.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include ballot-access and civil liberties groups, political reform advocates who prefer special elections, and taxpayer watchdogs concerned about administrative changes.
