 Introduced by M. of A. JACOBSON, EACHUS -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Election Law

 AN ACT to amend the election law, in relation to requiring that candi-
 dates for certain offices be residents and registered voters in the

 4 office or a party position, the candidate shall be a resident and regis-
 5 tered voter in the district containing the public office or party posi-
 6 tion sought. A county, city, town or village may impose more stringent
 7 residency requirements. A candidate for member of the county committee
 8 need only be a resident and registered to vote in the Assembly district
 9 which contains the election district that the candidate is running in.
 10 Failure to meet these requirements shall render the petition void. These
 11 requirements shall be in addition to all other requirements required by
 12 law. This section shall not apply to a candidate for representative in
 13 congress, or to a candidate for the state assembly or state senate.
 14 § 2. Section 6-138 of the election law is amended by adding a new
 15 subdivision 5 to read as follows:
 16 5. At the time of the filing of an independent nominating petition for
 17 public office, the candidate shall be a resident and registered voter in
 18 the district containing the public office. Failure to meet these
 19 requirements shall render the petition void. These requirements shall be
 20 in addition to all other requirements required by law. A county, city,
 21 town or village may impose more stringent residency requirements. This
 22 section shall not apply to a candidate for representative in congress,
 23 or to a candidate for the state assembly or state senate.
