You need JavaScript enabled to view it (602-506-0938) at the Maricopa County Elections Department (MCED) to obtain an official candidate packet. This packet contains all the necessary forms plus a Candidate Handbook to answer your questions. Forms may also be downloaded from the MCED web page. You MUST file either a $500 Threshold Exemption Statement or a Statement of Organization with MCED BEFORE you gather any signatures on your nominating petitions, collect any contributions, or make any expenditures for your campaign.

Once you file one of these two documents, you can begin gathering signatures on the Candidate Nomination Petitions. Eleven (11) valid signatures are needed to qualify for the ballot. It's a good idea to get more signatures than you need in case some of them turn out to be invalid. Signatures must be filed with MCED between July 5th and August 4th, 2010.
