Anyone interested in becoming a candidate for their Town/City Council or School Board/Committee will need to take out nomination petition paperwork and collect signatures to a secure a place on the ballot.  Exact details vary greatly from one municipality to the next.

There are no state rules regulating how municipalities provide information for potential candidates. The dates for petition deadlines listed below are derived from either a municipal website or through a reading of the municipality’s charter.  It is always best practice to contact your city/town office to verify these essential dates.

Anyone who aspires to run for office, but feels intimidated or just needs an assist, is welcome to contact us for support!
