§ 6791 Presidential Primary Signature Timing

• •People collecting signatures for a presidential candidate can only do it between 120 and 81 days before the primary election.
• •If they start too early or too late, the signatures won’t count.
• •This rule helps keep things fair and organized.

If the presidential primary is on March 5th, someone collecting signatures can start on November 5th but must stop by January 14th.

If they try to get signatures on October 1st (too early) or February 1st (too late), those signatures won’t be allowed.
