Purpose of legislation
Acts of Assembly Chapter(s) 663 and 664 passed during the 2023 Session of the General Assembly set
out the procedures by which an elected officer, or officer who has been appointed to fill an elective office,
may be removed from office. As it pertains to the State Board and general registrars, these bills require
that (i) the general registrar review a petition for removal on a form prescribed by the State Board and
determine its sufficiency; (ii) the general registrar certify the petition within 10 business days and promptly
file such certification with the clerk of the circuit court; and (iii) the certification state the number of
signatures required, the number of signatures on the petition, the number of valid signatures, along with
any signatures found to be invalid and any material omissions from the petition. As a result, the State
Board must adopt a regulation outlining what constitutes a material omission on a removal petition.
