Filing: The filing deadline for the May election is March 21. If mailed, all required material must be received by this date. Filing earlier than the deadline is encouraged. If you file in person at the county clerk's office, you can ensure that you have filed correctly. There are two ways to file:
1. Filing by declaration: Submit filing form SEL-190 and a $10 filing fee to the county clerk's office by March 21.
2. Filing by petition: Submit filing form SEL-190 along with signature submission form SEL-121 with at least eighteen valid signatures to the county clerk's office by March 21.
A candidate filing packet for the May 2019 election is available for download here. The packet does not currently contain the signature form for filing by petition, however. That is available here.
When filling out form SEL-190, in the "District, Position, or County" blank, write "Otter Rock Water District Position #(desired position)"
