3-Day Online Candidate Filing is Closed

This is the first step in filing as a candidate online. Before you are officially recorded as a candidate for public office, your online filing will be reviewed for accuracy and completeness. Filings are not official until validated and approved by the Elections Office. Your name will appear on the San Juan County Website as a candidate for office once your Declaration of Candidacy is validated and approved. 

San Juan County Elections Office will accept online candidate filings from this website from Wednesday, June 7 at 9 AM through Friday, June 9 at 4 PM.  Online filings submitted after 4 PM on Friday, June 9 will not be accepted.  Assistance with this process is available by calling the Elections Office at (360) 378-3357 or emailing SJC Elections.

In person filings will be accepted Wednesday, June 8, at 8 AM through Friday, June 9, at 4:30 PM.

  • Candidates who file during the Special 3-Day Candidate Filing period may not withdraw.
  • These races will appear only on the General Election ballot, no matter how many candidates file for office.
  • If no one files for an office opened for a special filing period, the office is deemed lapsed and will not appear on the General Election ballot.
