Write-in Candidates
To become a valid write-in candidate
for a state or federal office, an individual must file a Declaration
of Write-In Candidacy no later than 30 days before the regular
general election.
Federal office
candidates must file the declaration in person with the Lt. Governor's
Office.
State office candidates may file the declaration in person either
with the county
clerk in their county of residence or with the Lt. Governor's
Office. Write-in candidates must meet the qualifications
required for the state
or federal
office they are seeking. Filing the Declaration of Write-In Candidacy
means that write-in votes for the candidate will be counted.
The candidate's name will not appear on the ballot.
