D. Am I required to file a document to withdraw as a candidate?
The FPPC does not administer the laws that govern what candidates must do to appear on a ballot or to remove their names from a ballot. Contact your local filing officer.
E. Am I required to file the Form 501 if I will set up a committee to fight my recall?
No. An officeholder who is the target of a recall is not required to file the Form 501. F. Am I required to file the Form 501 if I am a replacement candidate in a recall election?
Yes. Replacement candidates must file the Form 501.
G. Are candidates who are seeking election to a particular district or seat (e.g., city council or community college board of trustees) required to specify the district/seat on the Form 501? Yes. Each district/seat on the city council or the community college board of trustees is considered a specific office. Note: The “district number” is not required for candidates running for mayor or city council at large. H. I have completed the process to be an official write-in candidate. Do I have any reporting obligations?
Yes. You have the same reporting obligations as any other candidate.
