Candidate Bulletins

Candidates for office must meet certain qualifications and are required to file specific ballot access documents in order to qualify for the ballot. For more information see the Becoming a Candidate page of this website.

Write-in Candidates for all offices except President are not required to file any ballot access documents, however, will need to be in compliance with Campaign Finance requirements. 

Most cities, either by charter or choice, have non-partisan city council elections. In these cities all candidates for city council must run as independent candidates. Please review the list to ensure you complete the appropriate ballot access process.
