Interested in Running for Public Office?
Education Board Elections
Dozens of offices countywide are up for election on the November ballot including those for city councils, school boards and special districts.
Running for an elective office:
- Contact the Registrar of Voters to confirm that you are registered to vote in Fresno County and to determine the offices/districts applicable to your residence.
- Arrange to pick up the required Declaration of Candidacy form and additional forms from the Registrar of Voters office.
- Write a candidate statement that will be shared with voters.
- After submitting the required paperwork, share with your community that you’re running for the office and encourage community members to participate in the election, either by voting or encouraging others to vote.
