Candidates seeking office this year are now circulating nominating petitions. Depending upon the position they seek 10-2000 signatures of registered voters are needed to secure a ballot position.
Nominating petitions may be circulated by supporters on behalf of their favorite candidate. Then petitions are collected by the candidate and/or her campaign to be filed with the appropriate election board. Petitions will circulate for the next three weeks until the deadline of March 11, but most candidates will begin collecting and filing around March 4.
Elected positions open this year:
Governor
Lt. Governor
U.S. Congress
PA House
State Party Committee
County Party Committee
