Missouri HB2181 modifies candidate filing requirements for nonpartisan elections in political subdivisions and special districts.
Missouri HB2181 changes the rules for filing as a candidate in nonpartisan elections in political subdivisions and special districts. It eliminates the need for candidates to submit a petition signed by registered voters as a method of filing a declaration of candidacy. Instead, candidates must file their declaration of candidacy with the appropriate election authority. The bill also specifies that if the number of candidates for an office equals the number of positions to be filled, no election will be held, and the candidates will assume their offices as if they had been elected.
