Who May File a Candidacy Document
A candidate or a representative of a candidate; or, in the event of ballot vacancy or elected office vacancy, the chair of the caucus or a representative of the chair of the caucus, may file any candidacy document with the county election board, county voter registration official, or the Indiana Election Division.
The candidacy document needs to be completed and, if applicable, notarized since a notary cannot notarize a signature unless the individual is present and signs the document before them. Candidacy documents, including petitions of nomination, must be original and received not later than the stated deadline. See below information for when a candidate filing must be rejected for related information.
