Nomination Petition
A Nomination Petition is a form that contains signatures of registered voters within a particular district. Some offices have a nomination requirement. For these offices, candidates must collect a certain number of valid signatures on the Nomination Petition in order to run for office. The minimum and maximum number of signatures allowed to be collected varies by office. If potential candidates choose to circulate and submit a Petition In-Lieu of Filing Fee , the number of valid signatures collected on that petition is also applied to the nomination requirement. Nomination Petitions are available for pick-up at the Registrar of Voters ’ office beginning July 15, 2024, and completed petitions must be filed no later than 5:00 p.m. on August 9, 2024.
Candidates for city offices must pick up and file the Nomination Petition with the City Clerk for that city.

Note: Candidates will be notified in approximately 3 business days about the results of their signature submission. On the day of the deadline for filing, candidates can expect to receive their results late that evening or the following day, Saturday, August 10.
We suggest that signatures be submitted well in advance of the deadline to provide the best opportunity for candidates to submit supplemental signatures if needed.
Declaration of Candidacy
The Declaration of Candidacy is a required form that all candidates must file to officially become a candidate. On the Declaration of Candidacy , candidates declare which office they are running for, how their name shall appear on the ballot, and whether they request a ballot designation. If a candidate requests a ballot designation, they must complete a Ballot Designation Worksheet (see section E for more information) . The Declaration of Candidacy will be available at the start of the candidate filing period, which begins on July 15, 2024, and an original document with a wet signature must be delivered to the Registrar of Voters ’ office by 5:00 p.m., August 9, 2024. Once filed with the Registrar of Voters, the Declaration of Candidacy becomes a public record and is available for viewing by the public upon request.
Candidates running for a city office must pick up and file the Declaration of Candidacy with the City Clerk for that city.
