CANDIDATE FORMS YOU NEED TO FILE TO RUN FOR OFFICE
Candidates must file two forms prior to officially qualifying: Form DS-DE 9 and DS-DE 84.

  • Designates the office for the candidate
  • Appoints a campaign treasurer

*Nothing prohibits a person from announcing his or her intention to become a candidate prior to filing a Form DS-DE 9, however candidates may not accept any contributions, make any expenditures, or circulate petitions until the DS-DE 9 is filed with the Qualifying Officer.

Special District candidates who do not intend to collect or expend campaign funds are not required to file the DS-DE 9. An Affidavit of Intention must be submitted if a Special District Candidate chooses this option.

  1. Form DS-DE 84, Statement of Candidate: must be filed by the candidate within 10 days after filing Form DS-DE 9. This form states that the candidate has received, read and understands the requirements of Chapter 106, F.S.
