DRAFTER'S NOTE:

Error: Error in the revision of Article 33, § 3-302(a)(2). The intent of the
Commission to Revise the Election Code had been to phase in a shortening
of the period before an election when voter registration is closed. In 2002,
the close of registration will be the 21st day before the election. The 24th
day before the election was specified for 2000, but since that day would be
a Saturday, the actual close would have been the following Monday, the
22nd day before the election. The Commission to Revise the Election Code
determined that this result was not consistent with the intent.

Occurred: Ch. 585, Acts of 1998.

(b) Except for the offices of Governor and Lieutenant Governor, the name of
any individual who files a certificate of candidacy and does not withdraw shall appear

deadline specified under § 5-303 of this article, the individual's death or
disqualification is known to the applicable board with which the certificate of
candidacy was filed.
