SB 1480 - Current law provides that there shall be a primary election for all state and county offices on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in August. This act moves that primary election to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in February. The act also establishes a presidential preference primary election to be held on the first Tuesday in February of each year in which a presidential election is held. These provisions are substantially similar to SB 1120 (2024), HCS/HB 1525 (2024), HB 2618 (2024), HCS/HB 2895 (2024), SB 602 (2023), HB 267 (2023), HB 347 (2023), HB 738 (2023) and certain provisions in CCS/HS/HCS/SS#2/SCS/SB 96 (2023). This act is effective January 1, 2025. SCOTT SVAGERA
