Legislation Introduced to Change Missouri Political Filing Dates
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) _ A Missouri senator has introduced
legislation that would push back the state's time period for
candidates to file for public office.
The legislation introduced Wednesday would push the filing
period back to begin on March 27. The filing period was originally
scheduled to begin Feb. 28. The change will affect races for seats
in the state legislature and the U.S. House.
Sen. Mike Parson, a Bolivar Republican, said the change was
necessary because state lawmakers might not have enough time to
file for their candidacies.
A state commission is set to discuss the boundaries of state
Senate districts on Feb. 18, meaning it would not have enough time
to finalize a district map by the end of the month.
House districts are still being challenged in the state's
courts.
