It's not ex post facto (and even if it were, the Constitutional prohibition on such laws only applies to Federal law).  It's all part of the same election.

The Constitution in Article I Section 9 bans Congress from passing an ex post facto law.  Looking further I see it repeats the prohibition in Section 10 so that it applies to the States.  However, this is not a ex post facto law.  It is a foolish law, but the Constitution does not prohibit foolish laws.
