Application Guidelines

To file for this office, follow these three steps: 1) Contact the election administrator for the office that you are interested in. For city/township/village positions, you will contact the City Clerk (or similar position). For all school district, special district and county level positions, contact Oakland County Elections. Elections for villages and cities are usually held in odd years in November, while all other position elections will be held in November of even years. Ask the election administrator if you are eligible to run for the position (there are residency and some professional requirements for certain positions) and double check the filing window. 2) Fill out the candidacy paperwork and begin collecting signatures, or prepare your filing fee. 3) Return your paperwork to the elections administrator (in person or by mail) prior to the filing window deadline, which is normally approximately 15 weeks prior to the general election. Failure to file within the window will disqualify for you from running, so make sure that the dates are correct and that you have given yourself enough time to complete the paperwork. County election offices are often excellent resources in helping candidates, as well as the city/township/village election administrator. If you have any questions, contact the Oakland County Board of Elections at (248) 858-0563.
