Candidate Statement
A candidate statement is a written statement provided by the candidate that is printed in the State or County Voter Information Guide .
Candidates running for United States President or United States Senate may elect to have a statement printed in the State Voter Information Guide . For more information about candidate statement costs, filing timelines, and campaign spending limits, please visit the Secretary of State’s website. Candidates running for United States Representative, State Senator*, Member of the State Assembly*, and candidates running for other county, city, school district, and special district offices may elect to have a statement printed in the County Voter Information Guide . The Registrar of Voters makes every effort to mail all County Voter Information Guides prior to mailing official ballots. Due to the volume and complexity of coordinating mail distribution, this is not always possible. Refunds will not be issued if voters receive mail ballots prior to County Voter Information Guides . Please consider this as you opt to purchase a candidate statement . For mailing timelines, please visit https://sbcountyelections.com/elections/2024/0305/. * A candidate for State Senate or Assembly who accepts the voluntary expenditure limits set forth in Government Code section 85400 may purchase the space to place a statement in the County Voter Information Guide that does not exceed 250 words. Candidates who elect to have a statement printed in the County Voter Information Guide are required to pay the estimated costs of including their candidate statement in the County Voter Information Guide at the time of filing. The actual costs of inclusion will be determined after the election, and participating candidates will either receive a refund or be responsible for paying additional costs at that time. Estimated costs for candidate statements are calculated by district per registered voter. Payments are accepted in the form of cash, personal check, cashier’s chec k, money order, or credit card. Payment is required at the time of filing your candidate statement.
