Pennsylvania Petition to Set Aside Nomination Petition is a legal document that is filed by an individual or a political party to challenge the nomination of a candidate in a primary or general election. This petition allows a qualified elector to challenge a nomination of a person for public office in the state of Pennsylvania. It must be filed within seven days after the nomination has been made. The Pennsylvania Petition to Set Aside Nomination Petition has two types: the challenge to nomination by a political party and the challenge to nomination by an individual. The challenge to nomination by a political party is when a political party challenges the nomination of a candidate in a primary or general election. The challenge to nomination by an individual is when an individual challenges the nomination of a person for public office in the state of Pennsylvania. In both cases, the petitioner must provide evidence to prove why the nomination should be set aside, including evidence of fraud or unlawful activity, or failure to meet the qualifications for the office. The petition must be filed in the court of common pleas in the county in which the nomination was made and must include a statement of facts on which the petitioner is relying to set aside the nomination. The court will then hold a hearing on the petition and decide whether to grant the petition.
