8106.5
. (a) If the number of days for a candidate to collect
signatures on a petition in lieu of a filing fee for a special
election that is held to fill a vacancy is less than the number of
days that a candidate would have to collect signatures on a petition
for a regular election for the same office, the elections official
shall reduce the required number of signatures for the petition, as
specified in subdivision (a) of Section 8106, by the same proportion
as the reduction in time for the candidate to collect signatures. In
determining the proportion of time by which the period for a
candidate to collect signatures has been reduced, the elections
official shall exclude any days allotted for filing a supplemental
petition pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section
8106.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the number of signatures
required on an in-lieu-filing-fee petition for a special election
held to fill a vacancy in the office of Representative in Congress,
state Senator, or Member of the Assembly shall be not less than 100.
