California AB1539 mandates that presidential candidates must be certified as eligible under the U.S. Constitution.
California AB1539 amends the Elections Code to require that presidential candidates be certified as eligible under the U.S. Constitution. Political parties and groups of write-in candidates must certify that their nominees for President and Vice President meet the eligibility criteria set by the Twenty-Second Amendment. Failure to certify these qualifications will result in the candidates' names not appearing on the ballot. The bill specifies deadlines for these certifications and outlines the process for write-in candidates.
