After much debate in the State House but without the signature of the governor, S.117 became law
on April 7, 2010, resulting in the following changes:
• The primary election will be held on the fourth Tuesday in August. This year the date is August
24.
• The primary election date for a special election will be held on the Tuesday that falls not less
than 60 days but not more than 66 days prior to the date set for the special election.
• Primary petitions and statements of nomination from minor party and independent candidates
shall be filed no sooner than the second Monday in May and not later than 5:00 p.m. on the
second Thursday after the first Monday in June preceding the primary election.

here’s where I went wrong. Turns out I’m not crazy, just not very attentive. I started my campaign in january. I printed out the petition to be on the ballot forms. The form says I have till september. They changed the deadline in april. GREAT.
