⚠️ Attention Candidates! ⚠️
The official candidate qualifying period is open today! Candidate qualifying week is from Noon on June 8 to Noon on June 12.
If you are planning to run for a county office or a special district office, DO NOT wait until the last minute! Candidates who delay this process may have difficulty opening a bank account and submitting the notarized, completed qualifying paperwork. Do not open a bank account before visiting the Elections Office. We recommend that you call to schedule a qualifying appointment. Otherwise, you may have to wait in the lobby if you arrive during another candidate's appointment time.
Candidate paperwork will not be accepted after Noon, 12:00 PM, on June 12. No changes can be made to the qualifying paperwork after this deadline.
City of Palm Coast candidates qualify with the City Clerk.
If you're interested in running for office this year, give us a call! We are here to help. Otherwise, check the website to see any new candidates who have filed, and their qualification status.
A candidate's filing status will change from "Filed" to "Qualified" on our website as they complete the qualifying process this week.
