Candidates may file their statement online on the Candidate Statement of Economic Interests page or by printing the form included in the petition packet above (also available separately).

Only a receipt for filing the required Statement of Economic Interests may be added until 5:00 PM on the last day to file.

Objections to Nominating Papers

A candidate’s nomination papers are subject to challenge by qualified objectors who believe the papers are incomplete or do not meet the guidelines of apparent conformity.
