Monday is the deadline for candidates who are running for statewide seats to file their nomination petitions.
The window to collect signatures was shorter than usual after a prolonged legal battle over the district lines for state house and senate.
Those seeking a seat in the state house needed to collect 300 signatures, while those looking to earn a spot on the ballot for state senate needed 500.
Under the revised map, Butler County was broken into four state legislative districts and two state senate districts.
