   An act to amend Section 8601 of the Elections Code, relating to

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1272, as introduced, Lieu. Elections: write-in candidates.
   Existing law provides procedures relating to the nomination of
write-in candidates. Existing law requires that statement and
nomination papers be available on the 57th day prior to the election
for which a candidate is filing as a write-in candidate and requires
that those papers be delivered to the elections official no later
than the 14th day prior to the election.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to these provisions.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
