Candidates’ Information
Filing for office is the process by which a candidate’s name gets placed on the ballot. These requirements vary depending on several factors including:
- The Office being sought;
- Whether or not it is a partisan office or nonpartisan office; and
- Whether the candidate is running as a member of a major political party or a non-major political party.
All candidates must complete an Affidavit of Candidacy and pay a filing fee to get their name on the ballot.
Candidates that have filed for office can be found by clicking this link to the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website.
Candidates for township or city offices will file with their local township or city clerk. Clerks’ contact information is available at this link: Clerk
