After you make the decision to run for office, you must file a Campaign Treasurer
Appointment. This is required before you file an application for a place on the ballot, raise or spend any money for your campaign, or announce your candidacy publicly or privately.
Please be aware that becoming a candidate will trigger filing requirements. You can familiarize yourself with these requirements by consulting the appropriate campaign finance guide and filing schedule.
NOTE: The DeWitt County Elections Administration Office is only the filing authority (for county offices) for all forms and reports due. The DeWitt County Elections Administration Office cannot assist or advise on how the forms should be completed or whether the forms have been accurately completed.
