Pennsylvania HB2280 amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to revise the affidavits candidates must file. Each candidate must state their residence, post-office address, election district, and eligibility for the office. They must also confirm they will not knowingly violate election laws, are not running for the same office under another party, and are not already holding the office. The bill also adds a requirement for candidates to state their awareness of campaign finance reporting. The affidavits are used administratively to ascertain qualifications and are exempt from public disclosure.
