Write-In Information

To become a valid write-in candidate for a state or federal office, an individual must file a Declaration of Write-In Candidacy no later than 30 days before the regular general election. The form for a write-in candidate for President is “2008 Declaration of Write-In Candidacy For The Office of President of the United States”.
Federal office candidates may file the declaration by mail or in person with the Lt. Governor's Office (Room E-325 East Building, State Capitol Complex). Write-in candidates must meet the qualifications required for the state or federal office they are seeking. Filing the Declaration of Write-In Candidacy means that write-in votes for the candidate will be counted. The candidate's name will not appear on the ballot.
There is no fee.
