In United States law, the Purcell principle is the doctrine that courts should not change election rules too close to an election, because of the risk of causing confusion. It is named after Purcell v. Gonzalez, a 2006 case from the U.S. Supreme Court's emergency docket, or shadow docket. It is frequently invoked by the Supreme Court and lower courts to allow elections to proceed under a state's preferred voting requirements, maps, and other rules.[1][2]
The term "Purcell principle" was introduced in a 2016 law review article by Richard L. Hasen.[3][4] It has also appeared in opinions by the justices themselves.[5]
