Election Procedures and Filing Deadlines
Are you interested in running for office in November?
Are you interested in re-running for your seat?
This is what you will need to do:
- Decide if you are going to do the optional Statement of Qualifications (200 words or less). SOQ prices will be available closer to the opening of Nominations.
- Think about how you want your name to appear on the ballot and what you would like to use as a ballot designation. (Ballot designation: three words or less to describe your primary occupation or vocation.)
- Complete a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) available at the FPPC’s website: https://www.fppc.ca.gov/. Check the “Candidate Box” and enter the Election Year under “Type of Statement” on the cover page and fill out any schedules that apply.
- Complete Campaign Statements If you:
- Do NOT plan on raising or spending any money – Form 470
- Plan on spending up to $1,999 – Form 470 & 501
- Plan on spending OVER $2,000 – Form 410 & 501
- All forms can be found here: https://www.fppc.ca.gov/
- Declaration of Candidacy: You will complete this document when you come into our office to finalize your nomination paperwork.
Are you interested in serving on our Board but missed the deadline?
The best way to prepare to serve as a board member is to attend our monthly meetings. We are always looking for fresh faces to lead the district, and we encourage you to run in the next election.
